Curious. Can you tell me how they will have to pay you OT from the moment you got back to the building if they send you back out?

I don't get what the big deal is. My center has always done this. If it is a light day and you want your 8 hour guarantee guess what? You'll get it. By being given 8 hours of work. If you don't want it but want to go home early? Then code 5 and some other guy that wants 8 gets to come take some work.
Eight hour guarantee isn't a guarantee that you do seven hours of work but get paid for eight. It's for eight hours of work.
But by all means just make the work they give you be eight hours.

I don't know what language everyone else has but this is from my rider:
"Any employee with seniority standing shall receive a full day’s pay if put to work, or if not put to work after reporting shall be allowed one-half (1/2) day’s pay, unless notifed the previous day that there would be no work."
I don't see a part that says they can pay you less if you don't work a full day, or that you have to tell your supervisor you want a full day's work. Work assignments are the dispatcher's job, and it's the ORS's job to make any necessary adjustments throughout the day.
I show up and do the work they assign me, and check in if I'm done before 8 (almost never happens) to see if they have anything else for me to do. Code 5 is an extracontractual agreement under my rider.

You are not forced to work at UPS. Find other employment, if disgruntled.

Well, that’s the most ridiculous response I’ve heard. Where did I complain about being forced to work? I am in a union for a reason so I am seeking advice from union brothers.

How are you to call? UPS does not give out phones?

Tell them to demonstrate the proper use of a broom first because you are a qualified floor sweeper.

Love this story. I had a strong local. One Christmas Eve they told us we were going to be paid time work. Especially no OT.
Everybody said no, we want our 8. So guys coming in about 1-130. They got us sweeping floors and such playing
we'll teach you a lesson. We had started at 8:00 so straight 8 was 4:00. About 3:30 they get a call, late air
coming in.
Now if this division manager hadn't been a jerk and pulled this stunt we wouldn't have started until 9:00 and 8 with lunch
would have been 6:00. No OT. Now he's stuck. So we walk out at 4 and all the management people have to stay
around and deliver the airs themselves. Karma.

Did you file on them working? They were the ones who didn't want to pay you to stick around. That would have been icing on the cake.

No. No sense rubbing it in their face. We made our point. Never heard about paid time work again for a long time.

Nice. Here, once you're in, you're in. Can't force you to go back out

Grievance time. Porters don't deliver packages and drivers don't push a broom.

Nope, not our responsibility. They can message the diad.

As I told my center manager when playing this game, I needed to get trained on how to sweep or clean as that was their “punishment” to those wanting their 8. We were told come in and find a supervisor when returning to building. We WAD and A bunch of us asked to be trained on cleaning as we don’t know how to do it, we ended up washing trucks and re parking them.
