Maybe you can get us to all make 15 an hour! Brilliant!

Another just signed up troll. You can tell when he says he is a UPS Teamster employee.
If you are laid off, you no longer have an 8 hour guarantee. The only way you could win a grievance and get paid is if someone with less seniority works and you don't.
While this does happen, I don't believe you.

Hook, line, sinker...
not making 15per hour, making ups pay for 8 while management violates the contract and going to work elsewhere in the time ups does not work me. and no - i did not create this situation - management has chosen to target 22.4s as some kind of second tier employees. rather than offering everyone leaves of abscence, early retirement, the options other companies use to reduce their workforces when needed, ups has targeted 22.4s for reduced hours and acts as if 22.4s negotiated a bad contract - before we were hired - but while not working us during the week still want us to drive routes on saturdays.

I agree but just out of curiosity, what would happen if he did get caught?
I mean, he's laid off and (assuming here) not collecting unemployment, so does UPS just expect him to deplete whatever savings he may have to feed his family?
I definitely think it's a conflict of interest but if you've been laid off for weeks/months it's kind of ridiculous of the company to expect their unworked workers to sit by the phone like Oliver Twist-- "Please sir, can I have some more?"

I agree. If you're laid off I don't see a problem with it. UPS says you can't work, therefore you should be able to work anywhere you need to survive. I agree that you shouldn't be working at a competitor at the same time, but that's not what is happening.
