[QUOTE="Braveheart, post: 252923, member: 5831"] good point but also what if you are off the list and then you need back on it to get off a little earlier to take care of an elderly parent, or kid struggling in school, or wife that had major surgery etc etc? You are locked in for 5 months and the 2nd half would be 7 months which includes Nov-Dec!!!!!!! Since when does UPS care if you want off the list anyway, hell they love that! 5 and 7 month lock ins are bad news brother! Easy thing to do is to have every single person sign up to be on the 9.5 list to protect yourself! We make good money for 1, we can work 7.5 hours of overtime per week at a minimum for 2, and since you can work past 9.5 twice a week which most of us do anyway it really adds up to about 8.5 to 10 hours of overtime per week while still having the triple time protection. We will all get the major overtime every Nov-Dec on top of it all anyway. Plus get your 8 hour requests in on top of that. These things will help the junior drivers and cover drivers get work because they will have to stop cutting routes so often!! I have actually got a couple extra days off every year now because they want to avoid my 9.5 grievance or having to shuffle around my 8 hour request. [/QUOTE]
