They'll be gone in 10 years tops.
To be fair they use pt drivers across the country at 18.00 an hour with no pensions and such.... there are just a lot of things in the contract that need addressed...I agree and i would also add the stakes have never been higher for the company. The 22.4 driver is a key part of the future initiatives UPS has instore for our futures and are currently rolling out. They have committed to wall street investors
Is that this Sunday DS???Yep. They announced it on UPSers and everyone with a current phone number in GEMS with be auto dialed before 5:00 PM EST Sunday.
There goes the beer money... you give in to this then the next thing mrs. Slave will want to do is start breeding and selling mini horses... youve been forewarned!!!Wife wants ing mini horses. I could use a few weeks off to put up fences and a stable.
She's paying for it all not me lolThere goes the beer money... you give in to this then the next thing mrs. Slave will want to do is start breeding and selling mini horses... youve been forewarned!!!
If you think the company is going to give you insight then I have some swamp land I'd like to sell you.I am confident that UPS will clarify many of the issues that the union has been unwilling to or unable to answer thus far.
It is of the utmost importance that ups and the union are being forthright and not misleading in their explanation of the new contract.
The following should all be explained in detail.
If addressing overtime is such a Paramount issue, why isn't the overtime being offered on a voluntary basis? Why aren't the 22.4 eligible for the 9.5 list? The 22.4s deserve to be afforded quality time with their families as well. And the vast majority of package car drivers do not mind over time.
Why do 224s have a right to 40 hours guaranteed while full-time package car drivers only have a right to 40 hours if work is available?
Does a RPCD who is laid off or who has not reached their 40 hours have the right to bump a 22.4 from Saturday and Sunday work?
In my Center all of the full-time package car drivers are Monday through Friday drivers. Does that mean that all 60 drivers positions are protected?
Can UPS please post, address at PCMS, and via DIAD messages after August 1st but before the contract vote what the actual number of protected drivers will be per Center and what the maximum # is for 25% of 22.4 drivers will be per center?
It should be clarified to the part-timers that if they sign up for one of the new full-time jobs they will not be allowed any excessive overtime protection for the first 5 years. And that they will be subject to mandatory overtime have up to 60 or possibly 70 hours per week. Most part-timers have no clue on what they are signing up for in this needs to be explained to them.
I am sure there are many other questions that can be easily answered on this conference call. I did not see anywhere where I could address these questions on the UPSers. Com website.
must be where SKIM Milk comes fromMight as well grab a few of these.View attachment 204239
that to me is a lifestyle and not a hobby, but I guess that could be one in the same too.We've thought of moving farther out to have room for animals like this as well. We have a pretty old farmhouse down the road with a bunch of miniature donkeys, horses and cows. Looks ilke a cool hobby if you like animals.
The other benefit would be room for the kids to have motorcycles and ATV's. The downside is leaving the lake.
Is that this Sunday DS???
This should be very interesting.....You got it skip. I'd expect to get cold called around 4:50/4:55 PM EST this Sunday if your phone number is current in the UPS system.
This should be very interesting.....
This is going to be interesting, my bet is more misdirection. They have been on the mainstream media for months with what we make. Then with the release of the contract what feeders make what 22.4s will make and what we will make at the end of the contract. Then UPSers with what our economic impact will be. The pattern $$$.
This call isn’t for the general public though...I'm sure UPS hasn't forgotten the public support the employees had in '97, they're posturing. They want the public to know that if we strike, we're striking against a contract that pays $100k/yr for "a job anyone can do." They're getting ahead of it, making sure the public knows how selfish we are, making our real concerns like PTers and "as long as work is available" language become crutches to justify our rejection of a $100k salary...friend@%&ers

Less than two thirds of UPS union employees qualify for those statistics....and I doubt that one in a hundred that are employed by UPS ever achieve a full time top scale position.I'm sure UPS hasn't forgotten the public support the employees had in '97, they're posturing.
