[QUOTE="HandleMyPackage-Mgt, post: 2479644, member: 63464"] Being an on road supervisor there are a lot of things I disagree with from both UPS's view and Teamster views. UPS - the fact that we have ground work pushing drivers start time to almost 9am is brutal. (Ground work being late loads to facility.) Only an extra 30 min everyday allows for drivers to maximize ground with air, which everyone knows gets the day started off better. In addition, the time allowances aren't 100% accurate. As management we fight daily to get 8hrs on some routes then load up others that only nearly plan. I'm all about having goals, time allowances, etc, but they should be accurate. In a "typical day" delivery situation the time allowances are fair, but the total picture needs looked at. Teamster - UPS will continue to load up drivers because there are drivers that no matter what work they are given, they will stay out all night. Then there are others that don't want to stay out, but do because all they do is "cry woe is me" about how they are treated unfair. Until the Union weeds out these metalities, UPS will continue to load the drivers up. In the end, both sides have skin in this game, but honestly it will never go away. UPS is a business which must make money, and I don't see the workforce getting any better with how much society mentally weakens itself........so let the insanity continue! [/QUOTE]
