UPS Strike prediction

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

We don't use air drivers to run ground routes. We also don't have PT temp ground drivers. Air drivers may pull some stops or pick ups off in an emergency. Unfortunately we seem to have a lot of emergencies. Like a driver gets hurt or sick or a family member. Are you going to tell a driver he can't go home to take care of a sick child because the Union won't let another Union member help out?

That's fine on an occasional basis.

But obviously if you were making $90,000 a year that's not an occasional basis

Been quite a while since we’ve had that problem here, put a stop to it as well.

You put a stop to delivery drivers no call no show?

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

Seniority has its rewards.

So does covering for the company so they don't have to create a ft job I guess.

Don’t really have drivers no call no show. Pretty rare around here but we have plenty of cover drivers to cover Call ins.

Sorry if I don't mind helping out. If delivery drivers would come to work when scheduled I couldn't be making as much.

Stop your nonsense. Every center has those problems and why would you still be there? We don’t even have air drivers after 10 o’clock. If a driver gets sick, or has a personal emergency, the other drivers pick up the slack and make the overtime either by voluntary measures or forced.

Yeah me working a couple hours extra a week prevented the company from hiring hundreds of new jobs across the country. LOL

90000 dollars is more than a few extra hours a week

It stops them from creating at least one. That's too many.

That would be fine with me if the delivery drivers would only stop complaining and threaten to file over extra work and tell management to give it to the air drivers to help.

You’re more than welcome to file as well since you should not be doing the work.

I along with everyone else usually end up working half days during Peak. 9AM to 10PM.

I shouldn't be doing their work. Delivery drivers should be doing their own work.

I edited my post. It should have said should not.

I'm done arguing with you

Whatever is planted in you brain brain you think is justified.



There is a difference between being a Teamster and a Mester....

Yeah we have plenty of Mesters in the Union. Which is why we have $20/hr delivery drivers now and minimum wage PT Union jobs.

Finally, we agree on something.

Good luck with delivery drivers doing their own work or even showing up.

Are you saying that Pkg work is being forced on you ?
