[QUOTE="wornoutupser, post: 146787, member: 2196"] "Oh well, peak is almost over, thank god. One more 55+ hour week and hell on earth is postponed for 11 months." Griff, You need to head down to Florida. Peak started around the end of September this year when the snowbirds started heading down early this year. We have the Christmas peak to handle, but the volume will not drop until the snowbirds head home. That is usually around the first of May before they are gone. I am not kicking the snowbirds, but UPS refuses to put in the runs needed to handle the volume. We get killed down here for 6 months out of the year solid. My area alone more than doubles in population during snowbird season! One center here has the record in THE NATION for over 9 1/2 hour greivances filed-yet UPS will not get the dispatch down. UPS has an answer. They sent in a new division manager that seemingly has personally targeted the top 10 greivance filing drivers. I was told that he even called that group "The Posse". This division manager takes the time to go through every driver's records with a fine tooth comb. He was even found IN the union stewards car recently as he came back from a stop. ( Why won't the CENTER MANAGER handle this) Rather than fix the dispatch, they are harassing 20 plus veterans that are called out to handle the problems that need fixing on a daily basis, yet the junior drivers go home early and the veterans have to stay out. Life is fun in this center. Loss Prevention is now in the building every single day. One driver was fired for stealing soap and water to wash his car (the parking lot there is shell rock and the dust coats the cars). Another driver was written up for attendance, yet a multitude of other drivers that missed a whole lot more time were not touched. Can you say harrasment? It would be a lot simpler to fix the dispatch and eliminate the problem, yet UPS in it's grand old style is coming into hammer the employees over a management problem. When the drivers try to talk to management, they simply turn their backs and walk away. Hey Tie, is this a preview of whats coming in '08? [/QUOTE]
