[QUOTE="Oceanview, post: 3299236, member: 67888"] I’m 28 years old 6 year former 113 Laborer former scaffold builder. I’ve been driving package cars for ups for a solid 11.5 months. In which I’ve never been given an 8 hr day due to my low seniority. Now being a strong union guy that I am, I can’t believe how much UPS get away with. What would be the apporiate way to ask all my center union brothers who drive to ask for a 8hr day everyday?? Im aware that we only get these 2x’s a month and isexcluded during peak.. and the delivering of Furniture is insane. I was Unaware that we were low key 2 men in a truck “minus the other man.” And this whole buying a flashlight to see at night is a set up. Meanwhile drinking my water while driving is frowned upon but us holding a flashlight while driving is acceptable?? Why not add a spotlight? Imo we shouldn’t have to buy a flashlight just so we can all do our jobs. Btw I don’t use a flashlight, if it takes me longer to complete the job so be it. When it gets dark and I have 62-70 stops left I smile. But if we all ask for our 8hr day everyday and when we don’t receive them ups will have to pay so much in grievances. What I’m asking instead of ranting really is, can I print out a bunch of memos on my own time asking fellow drivers to exercise their 8hr work day everyday and place them in every package car. I don’t care about becoming a target I do everything by the book and all I’m asking is for ups to do the same. [/QUOTE]
