UPS Plans to Cut Non-Driver Jobs to Mitigate Union Labor Costs

[Over70irregs]

On road supervisors need eliminated.

Done . Pass savings to us.

Sups will be cut come January. They already owe them MIP so they will just call MIP severance. Carol is going to go ballistic.

I predicted earlier that January is going to be a bloodbath for management.

Not sure how the conversation went to completely target supervisors...
Article states "140k inside jobs"...Those sound like union jobs to me. Wtf?

But they’ll combine pt jobs to make full time and just not give the guarantee and risk the grievance payout

I'm hearing a reduction of 2500 in the IE department nationwide

Been awhile since I had a on road that could even train on each training route that we have. Yes they are useless nowadays. FT dispatch/dps ? Another useless cog, that's going to PT sups now. A DOT physical is required Tobe on preload. Guess who's running the misroutes?

But what about the pensions? That would have to a consideration.

 

[KearsargeCoop]

Seems like inconsistent hours and ty split shifts would be the way to keep attrition high, avoid pension contributions and allowing health care enrollment. They'd save a lot of money that way.

Making life harder on full time drivers, thus forcing more attrition, lower wages because more start up, seasonal positions, and frustrating aging drivers into retirement.

Just a thought (although completely idiotic and negative, would seem to fit the marching orders passed down from the ivory Atlanta tower)

They will just layoff the extras

We have 28 sups on one shift. They have gotten rid of 11 sups at another building telling them pick a job online or your out. Dispatch has been told they will be gone in 3yrs. I read UPS is building a super center in India for 20 million it will be done in 2025, and they will hire up to a 1000 people. That will be oms, clerks in office, and dispatch. Customer counter will be closing dec 2024 nonunion. They are installing ai for dispatch right now. I think after peak they will be getting rid of lots of sups. First, they took away all their benefits, pension and bonuses. Which I read saves UPS 1.6 billion a year. Now they're going to use them till after peak and bye bye. Our volume is starting to increase, even though mgt is trying so hard to bring us in later, it's not working. My building probably has about 100 preloaders, at least 300 drivers.

Building with 300 drivers and 28 sups on one shift? Not likely.

100 preloaders 10 pt sups

100 preloaders 10 pt sups

We need PT sups to fill in for preloaders on vacation or call ins.

I'm struggling to find anything in your post that's accurate

OMS, clerical, and dispatch can't be automated anymore than current level, ESPECIALLY with the concessions the company had to make in this contract

AI for anything is a meme, you're being bamboozled by buzzwords

nobody's benefits or bonuses went away, nobody wants a pension over a 401k unless you're financially illiterate

also our volume is still decreasing

No, those are Bhraparats. We're getting Messicans

we aren't even getting Mexicans, we're getting, Allah forgive my words, Central Americans
