3-day rides ramping up in our division

[Indecisi0n]

Just no grabbing like last time

I need something to hold onto.

What's the contract violation ?

Don't worry about it.

 

[zubenelgenubi]

My latest ride was a "combination s&v / methods" ride. He knows I'll file if he rides twice. Btw not one word was said about safety or methods. It's all just following orders from above to try to increase production.

Why didn't BUG ask you what the contract violation is?

All I can tell you guys is this - anytime they have tried a 3 day ride in our building, the driver files harassment after the 2nd day and that puts an abrupt halt to the lock in crap and nothing more is said about it ever. This in a RTW state in the deep south. Interpret it any way you want but it works here ( if you're not scared to file). And our BA is a freakin pitbull.

People in our center are either scared to file or just don't care about their rights. it doesn't help that our BA is the little yorkie the pitbull just walked over.

I just don't understand it. If I'm expected to follow every little rule and method, I expect them to follow a contract they agreed to. Either do it or pay me. Their choice.

How about if our BA is a teacup Chihuahua?

EXACTLY! They agreed to the contract, yet violate it every chance they get then get mad when grievances start flying.

I had my second S&V ride this year today. My last supervisor did one last month but forgot to turn the paperwork in. He got transferred so I had to do another one since my time was up. No big deal. I have never had a three-day ride in my 34 years.

I had about 10 ride alongs my first year. Also my center manager screaming at me to quit my job in the morning when I’d tell them I was going to have late air again.

I want a 30 day ride where they actually train me how to use ODO properly. Or observe, with a stop watch, me digging packages out of the middle of a full truck. Bring it on.

I thought you were going to tell us.

Black workers in Ohio accuse UPS of allowing hate at work

Are the workers in this story teamsters? If so, what action is the Union taking against the offenders? Would it help if I told you how they violated the constitution?

They don’t respect us... they never have...never will...

Or better yet observe your sup with a stopwatch digging out his/her first 25 stops on your route....I have been here over 25 years and have NEVER seen anything come out of a 3 day ride....people need to stop stressing....

I know it's your third stop but do you think you could climb over everything to find that envelop in the middle of your 6000 shelf? Thanks for your efforts. We knew ODO was a winning idea.

Corporate has no clue Orion is a joke and frontline management is too scared to tell them.

Your "frontline management" is corporate "entry level management.

It doesn’t matter how it’s interpretted. If you file article 37 then management has to cease and desist until there is a local level hearing.

 

[Mooseknuckle]

First day is yearly, no reason needed.
Second day: noted purpose.
Third day and beyond: Take it to local panel to dispute the purpose and it will likely stop on day 4.
It is a local agreement as old as dirt.

Where I am they hate doing the yearly ride. A lot more fun staying in the air conditioning telling stupid jokes and eating corn chips.

 

[Mooseknuckle]

No.

People always fail to read the whole thing.


"Not more than one (1) member of management will ride with a driver at any time except for the purpose of training management personnel. No driver will be scheduled for more than one (1) day’s ride per year with more than one (1) member of management on the car."


If you feel the number of rides is excessive.... then file a grievance.

But, why are they doing it? What's in it for them?
