UPS savings account

Agreed, kind of. But then it goes to arbitration, which adds even more months on.

That's why they make you an offer because I know people can't wait for their money

If you just had a local hearing, and it was deadlocked, still several more steps to go to even get to arbitration. The further up the ladder it goes less control you have. I’ve seen people get everything expected. I’ve seen people get less than they expected.

Up to ten grievances filed at this point. Penalty pay for all of them come to about $10k. Missing pay, less than a thousand. Every Friday I text a steward and tell them it's time for my weekly grievance.
They actually paid me out on one last week regarding holiday hours. They got my pay rate wrong, so I filed on that.
It's like an absurdist comedy.

Stop crying and contact the Attorney General's office of your state. Including all your documentation. Watch how fast you get the back pay.

This... also the labor dept. At this point it can be construed as negligence.

But also the contact does not forbid your going around the Union to the State and forcing the labor laws of your state

Yes, I'm at that point. Going to upper management and telling them I need my payroll history to give to the state labor board. Talking to full time Supes does nothing. Payroll just ignored them. $3/hr is only about $150 to $200 a week, but it adds up when we are talking months and months.
We have a huge HR department, probably 30 cubicles, but it's completely empty. I have the contact info for the state department I need to contact, I just need to prove my due diligence, which includes my payroll history as well as the dozen payroll grievances filed, and ignored.
I have my business agents personal phone number as well, I believe I'll give him a call in the morning and tell him I can't afford to pay union dues because they haven't done anything for three months. They can get in line behind the rest of my creditors.

Yeah, quitting your union. Will always make sure you get the best representation and quality contracts moving forward.

Absolutely don't say that to your BA.... he'll call your bluff, and then you're gone...

Just call the state.

 

[Wally]

Just call the state.

For sure. The OP would of had the company scrambling by now, if he/she did that, would rather be a drama queen.

What do you need upper management for? It's been a while, but can't you get past payroll from upsers.com?

As far as I know even management has to send emails to payroll as there is no one to call. Thanks, Carol.

No, not a drama queen. I just expected that my current management would do what prior management would do, and correct the mistake.
Definitely on me for thinking all management would appreciate me for effort and try to do the right thing.
Don't make waves if you can make ripples.
I'm ready to make a tsumi.

The suit monkeys really have no power to correct anything.

Not that anyone cares, but I finally got a check for wrongful pay rate difference. Now it's down to grievance pay. I know they are going to play 'lets make a deal'. Anyone with experience with this have suggestions, thoughts or advice?

It’s contractually your money. No deal!

Again, if your case is legitimate, and you were truly violated, you owed every penalty. It’s just a matter of if you want to wait for it or not.

The check is exhibit A. Case closed!

Appreciate the update. Hope it continues to work out.

 

[Backlasher]

Had my grievance hearing last night!
They offered 60%. I said I'd take 70 to avoid hassle. Then we got into details. They were talking about a grievance filed in June, and I informed them that one had been settled, but the one from the following week was still open. I did some quick mental arithmetic and said, according to the contract, you guys are on the hook for about $5100.
That got their attention. My steward corroborated the grievances. They said, um, we are going to have to look into this.
Take your time, I said. But, the meter is still running. Oh, and BTW, you see my 5 open grievances for pay? You may want to address them at the same time, because if you let them drag on this long, it's going to cost you more than the $1600 that you owe me as of today.
They signed the contract, not my fault they suck at payroll and timely addressing of grievances.

Never accept less than 100%. They're not going to accept any less than 100% from you or what you might owe them. Take it all.

They will just fire you in the end
