Hey, my steward mentioned today that the new talk in our supplement (710), which has not passed yet, is that there will be a cap on bonus. No driver will be paid more than 1 hour of bonus, no matter how much they can shave off the route.quote]
I am a member of 710 and this one has me scratching my head. Our center voted out bonus a few years back, and we are better off for it. We voted it out primarily because the time studies were all over the place. I covered routes for years and could make an hour bonus on some, run an hour over on others. Always worked at the same pace and new the routes well. Just wasn't fair. All employees should be compensated equally.
Regardless of your feelings on bonus, the union always took the same stance. "We do not recognize UPS time standards -- fair days work for a fair days pay." So how do they come to this agreement without somehow recognizing company time standards?
