    I brought a no shave policy paper to my boss and he told me to relocate

    alright, so up until the point where I was hired as a part-time supervisor I have never shaved my beard, but to get straight to the point , I got a doctors note. After getting my note I brought it to my gateway manager, and he tells me I would have to work the same position (part- time...

    Can a PT AM Loader sign a TDC sheet?

    I was a driver helper with one of the highest seniority drivers. He put in a good word for me and I accepted an offer for pre load. He knows I want to drive, and said he's still putting in a good word for me. He also told me no one is signing the sheets for driving jobs. I don't have my 30 days...

    5 Seeing Habits

    Hi, guys. Is this test on the 5/10 done at the UPS School? Is it written or do I have to say them out load to the person giving me the test? and how strict are they if you mess up once? I heard it depends on the person testing you.

    Question about friend/T Driving Position

    Before you start in on me: meant to write friend/T driver position on subject, not sure why I blanked out and wrote cover. Hey again all. So I have only been a local sort goon for all of 1.5 months at this point. Haven't signed any bid sheets yet because my buddy, a longtime driver said I need to...

    This morning at the end of my preloading shift (I load 3 cars), my lightest truck which is I believe one of the smaller 600’s had ~280 packages on it as projected.

    Part time employees jobs being eliminated by this proposed contract

    I just read briefly over the proposed contract. It appears that the union has decided to push even harder to create full time jobs. I can understand this to an extent. There are union employees that do not want to work full time. In fact this had been a great resource for people who are...

    Drivers application question

    So, I got my driver's application from UPS, and they want the requisite driving violations history. Several decades back I had a DUI. Does this totally preclude me from consideration? Second question, they want to know the date of offense and conviction, and I don't know. I caĺed the court and...

    No Deliveries After 9pm, Including Peak

    Am I the only one who caught this proposal? In section 25 they’re asking the company to call back all drivers by 9pm and no one can be disciplined for missed pieces. EVEN in peak! Could this be the section that causes the strike? Or are they trolling?

    Changing times

    so I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas. Our entire building is notorious for changing our time cards. 10 minutes here and there sometimes more. Every time you bring it to their attention the “mistake” gets fixed, and a lot of times they would try and say the employee must have entered...
