Love "working" a safety hour, then putting in 10.
That way I am paid for an hour of standing around in addition to my time and 1/2 and a half hour of triple time.
I am on the safety committee at the request of the B.A. specificly to make sure other members don't snitch about other drivers' safety problems.
And for all of you who think safety members are suck ups...I am laughing strait to the bank, filing grievances as usual, and making sure the other safety members are not snitching.

Here there is a split: some safety committee members are there for the extra hours and seem to be genuinely concerned that rookies develop safe working habits, others are wannabe managers/rats.

Then you join and keep an eye on the rats. Love absolutely laying into the rats when they mention a spicific driver. Threaten to pull thier union card in a non-right to work state....
They turn green.

We have an alt-stew on there for the same reason. My former stew and I both brought to the BA's attention that certain safety committee members were promoting company nonsense, e.g., "If you follow the methods, it doesn't matter if you're working 6 days and 60 hrs every week."

Judge me.
Sounds like a big circle jerk to me
It's so like the safety committee does anything anyways. Besides being company spiesPersonally I'm still in favor of disbanding the safety committee.The company is not a good faith partner; as soon as it mentions 'safety' it begins talking out of both sides of its mouth and looking for ways to shift the blame solely onto Teamsters' shoulders.

I know at least a couple safety guys who take overwhelmed rookies under their wing and give sound advice, but that could and would be done without the safety committee. I'm not the mentoring type, but when the occasion arises I try to steer the young bucks in the right direction, and most drivers are happy to do the same. Although I've found not enough of my coworkers read the damn book
We call it adopt a rookie program here. Not sanctioned by UPS

Take it to panel and let me know how it works out for you. That’s rhetorical of course, show me where it says you do. It’s been a decided issue here in NorCal.

You have to work “more than nine and one half hours” three days in the week, so exactly 9.50 paid hours is not considered a violation.

@brownprincess Just actually do a post-trip when you return the building, which the company instructs us to do and is gracious enough to 'allow' us a whopping 3 minutes to complete. BAM, there's your 9.5 violation.

We have enough other drivers volunteer to work the preload that supes rarely load or unload. We have a shop steward that files on it.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Hours worked and 9.5 on the dot is technically a violation is what I’ve always been told.

That would be like the company saying your NDA is late, because you delivered it @ 10:30am.
