[QUOTE="Red Dawn, post: 698907, member: 20396"] The combos at dfw have been "dissolved" according to ups. Our night sort was moved to Louisville. This took out 80 of 120 combo workers. Ups took out the rest of combos just because they could. Replacing them with part time employees. Ups is forcing combos to work a split shift, sunrise or preload and twilight shift. We still have a noonday shift but they will NOT let any combos work on it. Despite article 48 we were not allow to displace any two part timers but the other way around. We have had 2 members put in hospital after 10 months of lack of sleep and working conditions. Several others are under doc. supervision. Doc has stated to first one out that their is nothing wrong other than pure exhaustion due to lack of sleep. We also have had members fall asleep at the wheel coming home from work. Ups management had said they were hoping that the summer heat would force combos to quit. This would explain on the twilight ramp combos were forced to do reloads out on ramp away from building. No fans and no water fountains on ramp. O and no light to see in trailer when sun went down. Yes this was brought up to management, union, safety committee...etc. I could go on and on about the things management is doing and the lack of our local. But you can just go back to threads posted all last year. This tread is not so much about the 20,000 jobs but the ones we have been working sense 2000 and now being replaced by part timers. And the lack of action by our local. Have to wounder why they not taking action. And give run around BS to members. I heard that at last meeting they basically said the same thing as before and never gave straight answerer why NONE of the hundreds of grievances filed have been taken to national in over a year.
