I did, because that's what they do - but not in an angry or hostile way. The drivers all get along.Sorry, but it does seem like you did say to take the diad from the other driver.

That sounds exactly like it was with me. They told me they didn't do the blind thing either. Too damn bad, was what I told them.

Any opinions?
Stop sending passive/aggressive messages through the DIAD, that's not gonna get you anywhere. If you think your seniority rights are being violated get with a steward and file.
I didn't think the contract allowed us to bump people for no other reason than just wanting a different route.
ive been driving for 6 years, ive filed and lost every time ive filed.
File on seniority. Don't mention the sex of the driver, it may/may not be sexism, but in the end it sounds like whining. Just saying. The talk should not have occurred in front of the other drivers, but I'd leave that one alone. just file on the seniority issue and never send that kind of message via DIAD again. Be sure, a copy of said message has already been placed in your file.
Favorites are a part of the game. It's not fair, but neither is life.
I don't get why you aren't just walking up to that (female) driver in the morning and taking the DIAD from her and telling her you're bumping her off the route.... and I would bet that it doesn't end there. Quit asking the supe for permission - just do it.
That's BS. Seniority doesn't stop because UPS gets in a bind. The center I left still does it that way. It sounds like you've got nobody pressing the issue or bad representation.
Work as directed and grieve later.
As with all things, the OP needs to be careful taking advise from this forum. Consult your local supplement and your local Union Steward.
It is really not that difficult to do a route blind.The 1st day is a little slow, but the next day always goes much better.
