[QUOTE="HULKAMANIA, post: 1722654, member: 36802"] It came to my attention last night that in Salina there are going to be numerous drivers that will be out of jobs and or having to move to Lenexa in order to keep their job. As a teamster this should bother EVERYONE! We pay dues into this brotherhood and honestly Im not seeing them doing anything for us anymore. You might question what Im saying....Heres why I come to that conclusion. Wasnt the 9.5 one of the major priorities of the latest contract? Yet our 9.5 language is absolute trash! I dont care how you cut it its TRASH! We are working more hours than ever before, and contrary to what THEY want to tell you Orion makes it worse. There is NO WAY working multiple drivers 10-11 hours a day is cheaper than adding a route and eliminating the OT. Its not a proven method and it never will be. Not only is the company paying more out hourly, but more in injuries, damages,..etc... Orion...OH boy not enough can be said about this huge pile of SPILLED %^$#$#! You will say we are losing those jobs in Salina due to volume. Ok I will give you that. However look at what Orion is doing to our small business base which in whole is HUGE part of UPS' revenue. Whether they want to admit that or not its the truth. We are LOSING businesses and small businesses at an ALARMING rate due to our SORRY service now brought to you by you guessed it ORION. So how long before union members say enough is enough! The powers that be make these idiotic decisions and WE are the ones that pay for it. NOTHING they are doing right now WORKS my friends. Its only getting worse and will continue to do so. UPS' management has NEVER been good at admitting when they are wrong! If we were going to lose volume to such an idiotic tool then why didnt we just strike? I mean the company and the IBT knew we couldnt strike cause we would lose too much ground to Fed Ex right? So we fork it over ANYWAY?!?!?! I thought we were suppose to PROTECT THE BRAND??!?! I thought we were suppose to ensure that fellow drivers down the road have a job they can count on? There is only so far you can go with---Well let them keep doing their stupid stuff and we will just keep collecting paychecks. The well will eventually run dry and it will hang you out to dry with it.....Rant Over...or maybe its just begun I cant tell which!----Frustrated UPS driver OUT [/QUOTE]
