UPS says Yes to Saturday Ground.

[Jackburton]

They advance loads all the time during Peak.

As of now, no. The whole system needs to be on Saturday ground to advance all the loads efficiently.

Yes, during peak, but as of now, no.

Peak will be used as a time to get more centers up and running Saturday ground utilizing the peak seasonal drivers during startup. The real test will be in January-March on how the company will do this going forward.

Seems that if you have several p/u's coming in at 9-930 that not only will the 9.5 list grow but air will be going out late

I still say no to this crap

Saturday ground is new for all of us and it will take some time to work the bugs out. Businesses that are either not open or do not want to receive on Saturdays need to be added to the known closure list. On the flip side, it would be nice to have a sweep of the UPS Store done on Saturday.

No closure list here. Resi's go in the Saturday car and businesses go in the Monday car. UPS stores, drop boxes are being picked up. Sat. Air drivers are gone.

What about those retail locations that are open and willing to receive their deliveries?

Do you have to make an attempt on all of the NDA?

It was an eventuality.

 

[Limper]

They haven't worked out retail delivery and pick up yet. As of now, retail gets loaded in the Monday cars.
They also haven't worked out SPC yet. Half our Sat. drivers brought back 25 stops or more. So Monday got slammed and they asked many tues-sat drivers to come in.

Are they having to force from the bottom up on Mondays?

Are they having to force from the bottom up on Mondays?

Yes, to determine t-s drivers. But volunteers only for a sixth punch.

What if they don't get enough bodies? Do they leave routes in the building?

As of now, no businesses are going out for delivery, except NDA Saturday air.

Also, 12:00 commit on airs.

 

[Limper]

No routes sitting. If they're short a body, they'll cut a route.

Another point in the this job" box. We have all these cake ft and pt obs then package becoming more and more a living hellish nightmare. If management wants to be so involved on the delivery side make package a management only position. What a joke. I hope they don't find me the alternative work I need for health reasons so I can sue. Failing that I hope this goes out of business. Thanks to ORIONs impact on customer relations that's now a possibility.

Your high aren't you!!

Would suck if they had some of us work Tuesday-Saturday in order to have coverage on Saturday without paying OT.

If you are T-S and volunteer for Monday, that is OT.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

If you are T-S and volunteer for Monday, that is OT.

Unless they cut you one of the other days.

 

[Limper]

No, this is one thing the union managed to get.
If I volunteer on Saturday but went home coded no pay the previous 5 days Saturday hours are OT.

Are you sure about that? Doesn't sound like the UPS that I work for.

 

[Limper]

I know, but it has something to do with the company not being able to compell you to work on your normal day off.
They post a Saturday interest list and a Monday interest list each week you can sign, but they decide who on the list they want.
