[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1868961, member: 198"] Not quite. It is to the point now where the supervisors know who is doing that. They will often just over dispatch them according to the plain (until the big boss complains) because they know they don't really want an 8 hour day. When there are a constant flow of 8 hr requests by them they are either going to accommodate them or let them get their penalty pay. Either way they are taking an 8 hour request that someone that actually wanted a light day could have had. And like I said....they will more than often stay out to get the penalty. Back before UPS decided to increase our work loads, and before anyone figured out this scheme, it was easy to get an 8 hour request. Even after the company started loading us down it took a while for the idea of making a little extra money this way to catch on. 8 hour requests were actually used to get a light "8 hour" day. Holding them accountable is not the same as purposely screwing them. Yes, they screw us but I like to think that by refraining from returning the favor keeps one from sinking to their level. I will not hesitate to file for the penalty (hold them accountable) but I will not ask for the day just to turn around and purposely stick it to them monetarily while blocking someone else form potentially getting the day. I am no better than them if I do. [/QUOTE]
