Full time cover driver not getting paid on time or getting hours?

[Pissedoffupswife]

I am the wife of a UPS driver. My husband worked in the warehouse for almost 2 years until he was offered a drive position. He had 2 options.

1. TCD, not guaranteed 40 hours,$27.00 an hour
2. Full time cover driver, guarenteed 40 hours, starts at $18.75 and on a 4 year raise rate. He will teach top pay in 4 years.

We of course decided option 2 would be best for our family so he would have the guarenteed 40 hours.

Packet went great, he kicked ass, had extremely good feedback. Worked full time for the first 2 months. After that, seasonal for peak has come on for training so he's only been getting max 25 hours. They also have had his checks off for the last 6 weeks which he filed on. The days they can't work him, he ask if he can work in the warehouse, they tell him they can't make room? He's spoke with his steward about getting backpay for everyday they haven't used him and she tells him that's not a good idea, he will have a bullseye on him to get rid of him? How is this legal? What can we do? I need some inside scoop y'all!

Sounds like he has not gained seniority as a driver yet.

How come your so pissedoff?
Your husband can't type?

The livelihood of our premature twins counted on this move. He left a salary position bc he was told he would get the 40 guarenteed. He doesn't want to rock the boat with UPS, that's why I'm pissed..

As a full time cover driver, he's guarenteed 40 in the new contract though?

If he shows up to work on time everyday he is guaranteed 8 hours of work. Whether it's delivering packages or making the supervisors peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. If they tell him to go home and he leaves then he's out of luck. He needs to demand it.

I was going by what the steward said.
They only say that when the employee does not have seniority in their position.
It should not matter but all people have emotions ... including revenge.

that's what I keep telling him because we have read it in the contract that he's guaranteed 8.

Its just a form of harassment honestly..

Sounds like you need to let him have your big girl panties since your balls are apparently bigger than his.

He doesn't want to rock the boat with UPS, that's why I'm ..

So you figured friend* it, I'll rock the boat for my husband? Why don't you call the center manager and be pisssed with them. Demand action!

Doesn't seem to be the case now does it? Maybe your info is wrong. That's why spouses who DON'T work for UPS should stay out of their partner's business and let the spouse who actually works here handle stuff.

Could be or just some sup trying to make his numbers look better.
Either way, it's not ethical.

 

[scooby0048]

A little harsh but probably correct.

I just cannot understand why in the hell someone who perceives, or actually has been wronged does not take a more aggressive reaction to protect their own livelihood. People need to be proactive and not reactive.

I've already stated that.

Rock the boat? How? I'm asking for insight , that is all.. if I were him I would have already demanded it, but like the prick below states, it's not my place to call

You don't have premature twins that are barely surviving in NICU right now, and we don't know how we are going to pay the bill. I'm just asking for advice..

 

[Pissedoffupswife]

oh yeah, I'm a husband beater

 

[35years]

Has he made seniority as a driver???

You will get very different answers depending on your answer.

I am praying for your twins now.

Sorry, I didn't know about twins ... probably because I been smoking.

Sorry again,
and
GOOD LUCK

Yes he was hired as a full time so his seniority kicked in right away, we have pension and retirement going, he's been driving for 7 months, so yes his seniority is lower but that's we he took the full time position over the TCD bc he was told in the union contract a full timer gets 40 hours guarenteed.
