cashmen said:how is not taking a lunch falsifying? they take it out anyway! I never put my lunch in, cause the comp takes it out everyday, unless you ask them not to...which will never happen
I get an hour of OT a week!
No, your stop count doesnt change cause of numbers....thats a myth! at least taht how its with me. I dont complain, I just do the work and it hasnt change, hardly!
most of the time, I do take a lunch, I just don take the whole hour....to damn long, its usually 20 to 30 minutes i take!
replace the teamsters with a union that will represent seniority and represent the people regardless of who they are, from the teamster steward all the way up the chain it is picked who they represent, join the APWA today and put an end to misrepresentation.jeannirenee said:I am an employee of ups for almost 26 years..in 2000 I bid a combo job which reads preload/clerk/dmp. I was loading a truck when I first started but I was told by the union I could not do this I was worked as assigned ..so for the last 4 years that is what I've been doing..Two weeks ago pas came in effect and my center manager tells me today that I am at the bottom of the totem pole..I have no rights whatsoever even though I have seniority on every person on preload..The union makes special deals with the company and employees even when it jeopardizes seniorty. In fact they put in an article22.3 jop or should I say gave it to someone without even putting it up for bid.. When the vacation planner came out this person had seniority over me and I asked when they bid it and they said they did't and I ask if she lost any pay and they said no. She now has seniority over me because she has been at ups longer..but my seniority does not count at all on preload..and why all of a sudden now does everything change when I have been working as assigned for the last 4 years..my clerk work is all still there but they moved the computer...I do not even know where to go from here because at our center they make up the rules as they go along and they contradict each other and that is the union and the company..one side is as bad as the other..I guess I am not the squeaky wheel...HELP I am to old to unload for 5 hours and when I told my center manager I would do my best but I could not keep up with the 18 year old farmers he replied..why not? you will have too....
It's time to get a union that will answer your questions to the rules as they apply.Currently there is no application so the company and union can play as they want. Get a union that puts seniority where it should be, get a union that will define the 22.3 jobs, no definitions and doing it different all across the country only adds to the confusion. No deffinitions by the company let's them do as they please. Everyone says they are tired of the teamsters and want a change, we have the means and chance now to change all this.The APWA will get your jobs classified and defined. Rules of seniority will apply. Join and vote APWA talk about it at your center contact www.parcelworkers.com , let them know of your interest and set a meeting time.jeannirenee said:Okay...Heres the deal...our preload is different than most because we have preload bid positions...so I know I cannot bid a position because my preload position is article 22.3 and I am fine with that...heres my question...if all postions are bid and 3 people are off can I use my seniority over the new hires that do not have a bid position...everyone tells me no but does seniority count for anything....maybe the union ought to calculate what I have paid in for the last 26 years verses a new hire...I guess I do not get it but I am a little put out with the union right now...I was not thrilled with the letter we recieved that they changed all our retirement with out any vote (WHICH BELIEVE ME THE UNION WOULD HAVE DIED IF THE COMPANY WOULD OF PULLED SOMETHING LIKE THIS) We had people who had the time in and could of retired and decided to stick it out one more year and then got the letter and now they can't retire...I could not of retired because of I did not have my 25 in at the time the contract was up but now I do and I will have to work 17 more years making me work a total of 43 years at ups...like I will live to tell about that....well I just feel sorry for the people that could of retired and didn't and now they can not because the union changed everything....I doubt we will ever have anything not bad mouthing the union but it doesn't look too good...I think I would feel better if the company had control of our pension...noticed they have not changed any of the rules just the union did....maybe it is just out local but they make all the special deals and write letters saying this person only has to split or this person needs grandfathered and award her 1.oo per hour skilled even though she never tested...even if it jeopardizes someones seniority they make a deal without any one knowing.....its a circus.....I have a question in our center and local there are only 2 article 22.3 how does seniority work...I have more article 22.3 seniority but she has more company seniority.. how does that work on vacations...bumping and ect...just wondering because the other article 22.3 is giving me so much grief...clocks in on my ss number and goes to the union if I work any longer...ect..now she says she can bump me she just bad mouths me all the time ...my next step is harrassment because I have gone to supervisors and they are all aware of it and suggest me to do it...I guess I have done enough damage...happy fourth of july everyone....
