[QUOTE="Ms.PacMan, post: 353417, member: 4656"] In the Central States Supplement, Article 19 Section 10 addresses getting rid of bonus. There will be no newly implemented incentive plans or bonus plans unless approved by the affected employees and the union. Current plans will remain in effect unless grieved by the majority of the employees involved and approved by the JAC: (1) Individual grievances must be completed by each employee requesting the plan to be terminated and the grievances must be submitted to the local union within three (3) weeks of their being written. (2) Once a grievance on this subject has been submitted to the local union, mgmt. is not to attempt to resolve the grievance with the grievant without a representative of the union present. (3) If a majority of the package car drivers in a center write grievances within a three (3) week period, the local union shall advise the employer within one (1) week and submit the issue to the JAC for approval. (4) The local union shall have the right to attend any meetings on this subject conducted by the employer from the time the grievances are submitted to the JAC until they are heard. *end So majority would be half the drivers + 1 writing grievances to dissolve the bonus agreement. We have had bonus arguments in our center every few years. We all run some bonus (mere minutes) in a weeks time depending on the tide of dispatch. A few run about an hour a day. They once ran 2-3 hours bonus per day and it was for several reasons. They were heavy on dock stops and pieces, they ran their butts off giving them lots of time before p/u's to go and initial other driver's pick-ups that looked good for their planned day (300 letters, etc.). That's when the fights started, from stealing pieces. With the advent of GPS and one sacrificial driver who was fired for running up miles the big bonus days are over for those drivers. My personal opinion is that time studies are weighted in UPS's favor in bonus centers and although most driver's choose to work by the hour and ignore bonus in our center, everyone looks like a slug and is open to harassment.
