When I spoke to my steward about this he told me I should put my name on the list. Yeah, lotta good that's gonna do, put my name on the list so I can be the only one and be an easy target for management. That'll do me a lotta good.

This 9.5 stuff might actually fly if management were required to submit to the Union, every Monday, a detailed list of all drivers and the hours they worked the previous week, documenting each day's hours worked per driver. If any driver works over 9.5 three days in a week its automatically grieved BY THE UNION.

I'm not on the list cause I don't want retribution from management, and I'm not alone. A few drivers used to be on the list but they came off, later rumored because management advised them it would be "In their best interests" NOT to be on the 9.5 list.

This contract would be much better if management abided by it instead of finding ways around it.

put em in as unscheduled pickups because these on area customers have no scheduled times. do not take credit in the scheduled pu on your board. when diad asks you did you complete scheduled pu answer no; this way you are not being dishonest or taking credit for extra stops. They have no integrity but keep yours. I have customers that close an hour earlier on Fridays so it they close at 4 on that day how can I stay within the 15 min of their usual 4;30 comit.

simple unsheduled pu or would ups rather have us sheet it closed.
yeah cust would be overjoyed with that

I would even go so far as to talk to your customers off the clock on a break or lunch and get it in writing. That this is what they want.

It is united parcel Service. This obsession with numbers irregardless of service to our customers needs borders on crazy; and I don't mean crazy like a fox. More like staight jacket, padded walls, lose business and customers type crazy.

I agree, except for your use of the word "irregardless". That's not a word.

This is one for the "pet peeves" thread. People who use the word "irregardless" thinking it makes them sound smart.

[porkwagon]

You're right.

Why would the company care about how long you work if they know you are too scared to file a 9.5 grievance? It would be nice if they would just abide by the contract, but if they know you wont file, then contract violations dont matter.

So how come you didn't correct his use of the words "staight jacket" [sic]? It's "straitjacket". And it should have read "customers' needs", not "customers needs".

Now who's the one who doesn't sound so smart?

I like irregard.

People used THAT word so much that they finally made it acceptable. It's as offensive as 'ain't' to me.

We've had pickup compliance standards here for a while, but they have left my run alone until now.... I have a double trip run with almost all businesses (mall route). The route varies so much so pickup times comes whenever I deliver since sometimes I am delivering the mall til 8pm or later. Well now pickup times have to be set in stone, so these customers now get their pickups between 4 and 5:15... nice to know when your pickup is but their delivery will be a couple hours after pickup.... more brilliant customer service... well, as long as the numbers look good

[stevetheupsguy]

They've adjust several of my p/u's so that they are on area with this latest DIAD upgrade. I sent a message to the OMS asking her if she could make all of my p/u's on area. I haven't heard back from her yet.

does that mean that if you dont get the p/u at the same time every day it wont affect your %compliance? that is what they are so concerned about... they way I have changed it to adds over an hour each day

You can no longer prerecord pickups. Just another way to make it harder on us
