Is the 70 hours in 8 days rule a new law?

[DOK]

In Feeder the hours are more predictable than in PC. There will be mass scheduling problems with the 70 in 8 days rule.

Explain where this rule is, we've always had to sign the 60 rule?

UPS would have to put you on the 8/70. If you never heard of it, don't worry, you're on the 7/60.

Not what happened to me last Peak. I never heard of it until center manager told me I had hours to work Saturday after working 7 days straight.

70/8 is mostly a Over The Road trucking hours of regulations. Because UPS is a interstate transportation company they can use the 70/8 for there DOT regulations, but with past practice I don't think the union and the company would get away with it for you package car drivers. We do use it here in the freight division.

We use the 70/8 here at FedEx Express and Ground. I don't think it would be that difficult to implement at UPS.

They wouldn't have to ask the union.

Don't you have a past practice part of your contract? I would think someone would just have to grieve past practice and fight it out.

Good luck with that. I don't see that holding up at all

I don't have to fight it, we are freight so we have that already.
