It's Official

It's rural mostly, AK. 2 different towns (sometimes 3 if they really want to :censored2: it up) 1 Post office, Casino, schools from 2 different towns. All the blah blah blah. A lot of resi and very few pickups. Usually will avg 110-120 miles unless they really :censored2: it up. I've had nearly 170 miles on it. Unfortunately, it is also a rte that gets broke out. Bastards, did it yesterday. So I got stuck on a rte that I hate. 135 stops and I didn't clock out til 9pm. Of course the center manager says, "I will try and get you some help." I told him, "Forgive me if I don't hold my breathe." I didn't, he didn't. No big surprise there. I'm supposed to be on lay off this week, If I had remembered to ask yesterday morning when I got a call to come to work, I would have stayed home. Told the center manager that to. :wellduh:
They layoff FT driver where you are? I can't imagine that.

Oooh ya. We've had FT drivers layed off for a long time now. More than a year (off and on).


I was back on my rte last week. They broke out my rte on Monday, 12 hrs on a different rte. Another 12 hr day on my rte. Another 9.5+ on my rte. I'm finding out that if I'm not on my rte then 9.5's don't count. This is BS. They can break out my rte 3 days of the week and I can get stuck working 9.5's everyday and there is nothing I can do about it.

Yes, there is. Bitch at your BA. Demand contractual changes. Get your co-workers to do the same.

Oooh, I already have a list started for contract negotiations. And that is one of the ones that will be at the top of the list. UPS is always trying to find ways to screw us and one of them is breaking out rtes. That was never supposed to be that way but here we are.

We should be starting talks by the end of the year. I'm already planning on attending at least one of the proposal meetings.
