[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 55143"] gadistrict, I was a driver for sixteen years and I have been a clerk for over thirteen years now. I get to see first hand the major increase in NS#, locate, etc as part of my day is address correction. Being the ole man I am the first data base the OMS come to outside of their management team regarding how to handle the unusual stuff that happens regarding cover drivers, etc. None of this has much to do with honoring the contract regarding 8 hour requests. Normally the contention is in regards to an hour or so worth of delivery, not replacing the regular driver. The issue dwells more on how the driver appears under dispatched if given an actual 8 hour load as I mentioned previously than an issue of service. Because this is the true problem regarding 8 hour request violations I deal with complaints on the issue year round and DO NOT see a difference in violation level between peak vacation time and elsewhen. There is no issue about 8 hour days being able to be easier to get in the off vacation period. Contractually the 8 hour policy differs nationwide (in my area we get three a month, they must be requested prior to the start of the day before and a minimum of ten percent of the requesting workforce must be so dispatched barring service emergency, UPS does not have to allow an entire loop off the same day), but whatever it is where you are the rules remain the same in all months except the Christmas period (which is the only period I don't have 8 hour request issues to deal with [img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/thumbsup.gif[/img]). I understand the handcuffing that you go through as an operational center manager, but the stewards and the workforce must hold the company accountable and not let "upper management decision" be the rallying cry excuse for accepting violations.
