Can you give us some examples of these companies that are giving their employees rewards or are you just assuming UPS is the only one that ignores their employees by just giving them one of the best benefit programs in the industry and not to mention the wage. Please be more specific.
I think your earnings should be based on your production.
Hey everyone lunch is on me today. We serviced 875,000 packages this week and only misloaded 291 of them. That's a frequency of 3,000!!! Forget about the 291 customers you screwed for christmas..
I think your earnings should be based on your production.
yeah i can agree with that.I think your earnings should be based on your production.
I hope your being sarcastic because 291 misloads out of 875,000 is only 0.003% of the 875k, and 99.997% loaded on the right truck is pretty damn good. Again I hope your being sarcastic but if your not then you probably should come back from unrealisticland.
I don't know where all the hourlys get off thinking they have a stake in anything. How can you compare yourself to management? We are the elite and you work for us.
See that is the teamster mentality. 291 Customers did not get what they paid for. Service must be perfect. Employees failed to do their jobs and we think it is ok because the service frequency is over 2500. That's why you guys lost your turkeys, because you just want to do enough to get by.

Right. The Teamsters have no stake in the company. We have no control in the company. Yet, when we get mistreated, and it does happen you can't deny it, we can file grievances that make you guys sweat your bottom line. When you excessively take from us during a contract year, we can strike and that makes you guys lose business to the competition. Now, I don't want to strike and lose business, I like my job. I don't like filing grievance because it's petty. Your stance though, if it were wide spread throughout management, creates Jimmy Hoffa's. What you seem to forget (somehow) is that the BBQ's, the hats, the shirts, the recognition creates a culture that people do appreciate. Coming to work to collect a paycheck (which is what you are arguing for) sucks. The companies that keep their workers close knit and make them feel like they're family and appreciated always has better production and better quality. It's a proven fact. The more UPS has cut back, the worse the service becomes. Most of us aren't the petty asses you group all the Teamsters in. But when the things that create a give a damn attitude are taken away, it does change our perceptions for the worse not better. And just because you think you're in the management team at UPS your impervious to the whims of upper management you're dead wrong. One mistake, especially if it's a big mistake, and your gone.
291 customers didnt get what they paid for because some manager trying to make his numbers look good so he can get a better bonus pulled 3 trucks and split them up to the already over dispatched Hourlys. Which in turn caused the already lost peak hire loaders to missload and forget to move part of the split that they couldnt find because the truck was overloaded. Whish makes the drivers late to get on road. Now he has to run all over and get the NDA done before commit time. If he would have got out on time he could have had all of shelf 1 done by now. However he has been delivering for an hour now and is just getting to shelf 1. The driver then has to run across town and try to make service on all the buisnesses that were loaded onto shelf 8 because some maroon who made the split thought this was a good place to put them. Which in turn makes him later on delivering the pkgs on shelf 5 so by the time he gets back to the resi on shelf 8 he is out of time and has to head back to the bldg. Just to be asked why didnt he finish? Now multiply this by the number of drivers who have to do this on a daily basis not only at peak and tell me who should be getting a bonus at the end of the year. The managment that screws thing up or the Hourly who has to bust his butt to try and clean things up.
Do are (geez, I still can't thspeek with this foot in my mouth) comparing Apples to Oranges. Management runs the company in the ground. Teamsters do all the work there. They don't have control or say in anything, they just do their job the way it's supposed to be done. Management thinks they do, but no one cares what they say. Management may not deserve the bonuses but they get them because they lie, cheat and steal. /QUOTE]
Well said, Cindy!
