UPS to pay $25 million for false delivery claims

[Catatonic]

For perspective, This $25M fine is equivalent to paying 300 top rate drivers a whole year (although not counting benefits). Or 6 medium centers worth. Imagine how many part timer hours that is! It really stings when you look at it that way.

or comparison.

For perspective, it is like $10 out of your pocket.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Exactly. But since then upstate has knowingly down it. Like within the last year. We have all known since then.

To be fair, the delivery in question was done before the big push on NDA compliance.

And yet we drive package cars from 1988.

oh, you have a newer one? ;o

Maybe there but many of us had already heard of people being fired for it all over the country.

Fraud is fraud & = to dishonesty... instructed or not.

But like you said earlier we ALL took advantage of the old scan, drive, deliver method from time to time. I mean who would have had late air and said I thought it was dishonest to do this. They would be a liar.

I must have been out of the loop, I never did this

I've been on vacation this week. You guys getting PCM's about this ?

"When notified of this issue, UPS focused to improve training, systems and technology to better serve our customers."

If only UPS had a lower tier of drivers available to drive for a few hours just to get the air packages off on time in addition to working their scheduled part time shift. Nah, that would never work. We better increase our PCM times so the drivers get out later and have less time to deliver the air.

The sad thing, I don't even get upset about this anymore. I just laugh and it's an earnest laugh. ing UPS... Giving me the best bar stories but no one to drink with.

There were jobs that just did air delivery called Combo 22.3s. Combo employees worked 4 hours in the hub then delivered air or EAM delivery then hub until their jobs were dissolved.

yea for something this scale it's hard to blame the drivers. I'm sure management was behind it. it sounds systematic

I agree, but most of the leaders that presided over this system have already taken their millions and run. The $25 million should be clawed back from anyone that received stock options in the past 10 years. There should be accountability that goes along with those big paychecks.

 

[SCV good to go sir.]

Started getting them last week. We were told there was a major litigation issue but no further details besides that.

We have been, and even got a refresher about it today.

They said they weren't at fault. It's those dang rogue drivers.
We'll show em. You're fired.
We should have realized that honesty and integrity are the foundations of our management's work ethics.
