What does the union really do? From my prospective it collects dues and that's about it.
You'd see them more often if you attended meetings. Even if it's only a couple a year.Hell the only time I see anyone from our local is once a year when they want my vote.
They do more than that, I'd really hate to think where we would be without them !!! Sure, it's not perfect, can't imagine the working conditions without the UNION support. Some places do not need a Union, UPS is one of those conglomerations that does. In my opinion.
If i didn't work 10hrs a day i might.
I work 50 to 60 a week as well. Still make at least a couple of meetings. Just out of curiosity what is it that you're expecting them to do.
If am correct the contract states that you can only be over 9.5 twice in five working days. I work 3 or 4 9.5's a week and have filed more greivances the I know, stewards just say file a greviance. Come on man. Can't remember when i've got off in 8 hours when i take a 8 hour day.

if you have an 8 hour day and are over dispatched ,at 1400 send in a message that you have the request and have too much work. If you dont get help file for 2 hours penalty pay. I also use this chance to file on any supervisors working and any other nit picky things i can file on. Next request I am assured of an 8 hour day
In simplest terms for "what does a union do?" FIGHT BACK!What does the union really do? From my prospective it collects dues and that's about it.

thanks 728ups, I been driving for 9 years and this is the first I've heard about this. once again where's my steward and why hasn't he told me this.
Yeah I'm not to sure about 9.5 language being only a part timer who only drives during peek. You could always give your BA a call to see what can be done, wouldnt hurt anyways.If am correct the contract states that you can only be over 9.5 twice in five working days.
