[QUOTE="soberups, post: 399727, member: 14668"] The routine here never changes. The off-the-street helpers only make minimum wage, so we never have enough and the few that do take the job wind up quitting after a day or two. Then there is a sign-up list for hub and preloaders...at $5 LESS than their normal rate of pay...but no one with any brains signs up for it because they know if they just wait they will get forced to work and will get overtime at their normal rate instead. So we wind up having every sup in the building out there delivering, and we just file grievances and get the drivers paid OT for all the hours the sups work. It could all be avoided if the company would just pay a good enough wage up front to attract and keep helpers, but in typical UPS fashion they wind up spending ten dollars to save a dime. [/QUOTE]
