6 working days!
- Thread starter Maple Grove MN Driver
- Start date
Remember the time when we worked for UPS and all the other shipping companies offered 7? That was so cool that we prevented that. Man I wished I still had that job.

This is the only job that I have ever had where we are allowed to NC/NS up to 3 times per year without retribution.

I always thought that being allowed to schedule sick days was a crock of.
...and normally I would agree but it is OK when you are using them in conjunction with retirement vacations...

No not Hoffa. He got that right. The new market place is changing at a very fast pace. With Millennials driving it with their buying habits. Part of the job as Union Leaders is to protect jobs. If we don't change those packages are going somewhere else. Most likely in a non discript white van with no bumpers and a dude in a HiVee vest driving it.

Wrong again. 72 hr letter sent out here and your name is taken off the seniority list after start time on day 3 unless you can prove you were unable to call in.

Progressive discipline. First occurrence a warning letter. Second occurrence a suspension, most likely a working suspension, third occurrence another suspension and now it starts to get real with a threat of termination.

Three NC NS days in a row =s termination here.
The post from einstein said they get 3 in a year.
Don't let them be consecutive without being able to justify no call in by start time on day 3 or it's over.

No call no show once should be bye bye. If you aren't coming in let someone know.

I have to agree. He is really milking this for all it's worth. 99% of the people on here just let it be known the day of or after. He has been making sure every thread knows the exact date and number of days till retirement.
Some people just crave attention.

I totally agree. My issue is that the weekend work does not have to be on the backs of your existing workforce. There is a nice win-win with the schedule changes that UPS wants to initiate but the win-win is to allow existing employees the option for the OT and have a bid sheet for the new schedule changes.
Isn't that part of the Union and UPS promise of working to create new jobs and promote from within? I'm sure there are many PT who would want to drive on the weekend(s) and think how much this would help us during peak rather than hiring so many clue-bags from the outside calling themselves UPS drivers.

Some of those clue bags end up becoming Circle of Honor drivers who retire after a long and fulfilling 30 year career.

Really poor planning on your part, to have to come in on a Monday to finish the deal.
