[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 739098, member: 198"] Bonus would be a good thing if people would just take their lunches and do the job at a reasonable speed. The problem is that people know that they can run, skip lunch, take short cuts, and short change customers to get off 1-2 hours early but still get paid for that time. In my center the bonus babies aren't "scabs." Most of them are union members. Its funny because most of our bonus babies are the same guys that lately have been complaining about our center's routes losing time but don't realize that they are the ones that IE uses to justify upping the standards. LOL! In fact....most of our "scabs" are the ones that do their jobs correctly and don't make much bonus. The people that worry me almost as much as bonus babies are the drivers that want, and demand, as much work as they can get. We have more than a few of those and they make it just as easy for management to cut routes as the bonus babies do. So you see.....what's going on at UPS nation wide with all the route cutting and upping the standards for "production" can't be blamed on just management. There are plenty of drivers to blame. As far as drivers filing on drivers goes....I've never seen an hourly empoylee file on another in my building. But then again.....there is rarely a grievance filed on management either. The problem with filing for another driver not taking his/her lunch is the proof. Will management back the griever and pull the records to see if that driver did actually skip their lunch? I'm not sure they would. But it does sound like a good idea. I'd like to see what kind of backlash that would cause though. If a driver actually did this every time others skipped their lunch there would be plenty of drama in the center. [/QUOTE]
