UPS LATEST PROPOSAL

[Kirk79]

They’re closing, or moving certain sorts, from smaller hubs to larger hubs. There are still small centers in each hub area. Probably 1/2 to 3/4 of UPS buildings are centers that just run 2 shifts. A morning preload and an evening reload, or local, sort.

We are small and have many routes well over 100 miles every day. How could they close a building like ours? Routes would all have 200 miles per day

This guy is a huge tool.

How does he code all that time out? Lol

Giving a chocolate to a person at each business while delivering a quirpy line each time... thats probably 5 extra seconds per commercial stop. Yeah this dude has to run over all the time.

I didn't say they are closing buildings. They are shutting some day sorts down, or moving them to larger hubs. I said the centers are not getting shut down, and they are the bulk of UPS operations, from a physical building standpoint.

I did say that most of these centers only have 2 sorts, and that the only way to add FT jobs would be to do a split shift. Work 4 hours in the morning, and then come in and work 4 hours in the evening.

I believe that would be a contract violation.

 

[Trucker Clock]

I believe that would be a contract violation.

At the moment, yes. But the new contract has not been agreed to yet.

My point is that some hubs can create more FT jobs by combining back to back sorts. Or abiding by the current 1.5 hour gap between shifts.

But, the majority of UPS operations are centers with only 2 sorts. So, to create more FT jobs in these centers, the contract would have to allow 8 hours between 2 shifts to create a FT job.

How many people would actually do this, or would the Union even want to allow it?

Yes! I agree. Time to go back to the basic. What happened to IE (Industrial Engineering) group? Did they become yes-man for upper management and leave UPS in a chaotic state?

Was that not what the 22.4 jobs were intended to be?

Ie was always a yes man operation. In the early 90's. Ups gave ie the keys to run the company. Only to take them back due to them running it into the ground.

Technology put them out of business, they are obsolete.

Wasn't IE a stepping stone to becoming a center manager?

 

[burrheadd]

Go full time

It sucks worse

Oh no...can we rent them out to China? Or maybe Morocco or Portugal where they are pumping out millions cans of sardines.

Ohhhh, never mind. They are screwed.

22.4?

No, I'm not proposing they be paid less.
