upstate i agree with u...however the leadership of my local the b.a. and stewards are questionable as wellThe members are the union so maybe it is the members not doing **ck for themselves.
This may seem trivial, but I'd like to see a ride-a-long program where drivers are allowed 2 riders per year, of their choice. Of course the riders would have to sign a waiver and would be unpaid. I'd love to have my dad, while still alive, actually see what I do and for my wife to see why I'm always tired.

I would like to see drivers nationwide make an effort to take EVERY SECOND of their meal periods and breaks. Management wont enforce this (except in Cali) because most drivers that skip their lunch inflate the center's numbers. So, it's up to us drivers to respect our own contract.
How about back end money , like an annuity, we currently have .20 per hour and that is B.S. most local teamsters get about $4 per hour into an annuity!
We don't have any routes like that any more. IE made sure of that during our last time study. The same ole drivers still skip their lunches though. They don't get the fat bonus anymore. Some get none. And they all whine about "the time they stole from us". LOL.On that note, I would like to see the Union given the authority to request delivery records and lunch/break times of the known runner/gunners to make sure that they are not working when they are supposed to be on break. There are a few drivers in my center who would have a rude awakening--one of them worked 6.07 hours one day this past week with a 8.5 hr dispatch (we are not a bonus center).
I would agree with you if it didn't effect other routes the way it does. These idiots are one of the main reasons UPS is able to cut as many routes as they do. If everyone would take their entire hour and ten every day between the 4th and 6th hours, then there would be no way service could be made on all of the business with as few routes as each center runs each day. They would be forced to put a good portion of the routes they have cut in the last year or so back in place and we would all be working less hours.Ya know, if a driver in a non bonus center wants to skip his lunch I say let'em go. That's just so mind numbingly stupid you almost have to respect it. Instead of safety awards they should give those drivers a Darwin award.
