Yep, had a helper today. Part time guy who works the sort. He did a great job, as I wasn't expecting a "peak" day today. Yesterday was like a normal day, so silly me thought it was over for another year. What a rookie mistake, when will I ever learn......
I used my Helper today. The Helpers we use here after Christmas are all Preloaders. They made them turn in their uniforms and then turned around and had to give them back out. Supposedly the Cover Drivers were to be laid off this week, but I see them everyday and split routes are still being put in. Once again, we were told "the volume numbers surprised us".
Scratch, as I understand it all routes are to be in and ALL cover drivers are to work as a condition of this contractual violation being shoved up our arse's . I still think it sux and I know for a fact the helpers are taking away OUR money by doing OUR work!!!! One thing to possibly check on / file on is, are the helpers that are working over 5 hours being paid at the overtime rate? Does the PT language transend to the helpers?
Everyone needs to realize that UPS would love to cut the number of highly paid/highly SKILLED package guys by cutting out routes and overloading the remaining routes to Driver/Helpers teams. I mean two drivers at the current rate of pay (plus bennies) are way more expensive than 1 driver with a $8.50 helper (no bennies) Look for UPS to attempt something like this in the future..... Hope our Union is up to the task of negotiating these under paid slaves the chance of earning wages above the poverty level....... But if not OBAMA will certainly be there to personally that care of them (yeah right) BCFan (not Boston College)
Go GA TECH lets get all those oranges !!!!!!!!

Man up if you file they will respect you keep filing and and they will fear you keep filing next they will want to be your friend.The think with me is that im a part time air driver waiting to go full time. If I file they will remember me and make sure to make my life miserable. I dont have any problems with my center manager and i want to keep it that way.

Our own fear is our worst enemy.Man up if you file they will harass you keep filing and and they will harass you keep filing next they will want to terminate you.
Its my job to ENFORCE the contract its what I took this position for. I've already been terminated its called braking your cherry its scarey but you sometimes have to do things even though your scared or uneasy its called doing whats right. I have to have faith in my B.A. ,my labor board, and GOD if you were one of my guys upstate I would have your back. Filing is my right and its my job sometimes if things can't be worked out to file.Man up if you file they will harass you keep filing and and they will harass you keep filing next they will want to terminate you.
