[QUOTE="whiskey, post: 821632, member: 21523"] Stops per car gives dispatch a ballpark for the day. Of course, the scale is tipped in favor of excessive stops. If there is work for 50 drivers, 5 drivers are sent home and the work is then done by the remaining 45 drivers. This "short handed" philosophy works and has been handed down from many UPS management generations. Tomorrow morning, in your building, drivers will be sent home in their browns. Some will be senior drivers who can afford to take the day off. Or will use up a sick day or optional to make up the difference. And some will be junior drivers with little or no seniority and they will lose a days pay. This will happen tomorrow morning in your building. This is how we do business. This is how we have always done business. And if the drivers can't do the work piled on their trucks, supervisors will deliver Teamster packages. This will happen tomorrow in your building. Where was I? [/QUOTE]
