    Union Fight for Better Peak?

    For those of you who have had a bad peak being forced to work excessive hours do you think there is any hope of the Union fighting for less hours worked in the upcoming contract? This year is nothing short of ridiculous.

    At 36 am I too old?

    Center and driver helper question, on topic please

    Center and helper question. Five hours in the center, followed by 6 hours on a package car. HR is claiming they are two different jobs, therefore no OT.. They show up on the same paycheck though. Any thoughts, ideas, arguments before I file a grievance? Thanks in advance for any real thoughts…

    Atlanta Snowmageddon ... AGAIN

    3 - 6 inches in and around the Atlanta area at 32° and getting colder. I, myself, am up to snow good. Schools didn't call a snow day ... now parents and news stations are flocking mad. UPS Drivers still out? Corporate employees get their packages at home?

    I hope UPS is learning from this

    Tomorrow, well tonight actually, a crew of us are going in for 6th punch. About half as many drivers on route but 25% of today's pieces. It'll be easy to smash out. So instead of hiring seasonals who stay and are worth it, they're giving us "special pay" of $12.50, which will be sixth punch...

    I mean this sincerely to all my good union brothers and sisters, fulltime and partime: DON’T LOSE YOUR COOL because of the mess UPS mismanagement has put us in. As a feeder driver, I bumble around from hub to hub supporting various preloads in my district. I’ve seen a lot of anxiety, stress...
