How well do you perform? It doesn’t matter if TheUnion recognizes performance. That may protect your job if you suck at it but ups still dispatched based on those time studies.
WRONG!
If he continues to file 9.5s the labor manager will instruct, yes INSTRUCT an on-car like you, and your boss the Center Manager, to cut the dispatch.
In my center you can’t opt in unless you have a route of your own.
WRONG!
National master language makes you either a liar or ignorant.
They’ll come OJS you and “lock you in” but you’ll be able to better use the contract language.
WRONG!
No such thing as a "lock in".
As long as he is not intentionally dogging it to an extreme, he will win at panel. Been there, done that.
Trying to use excessive overtime language as a cover rarely works.
WRONG!
The OP has stated that he is doing the same area with a different name. Easy to prove. It is not like he is delivering a different area each day. This is the exact situation where a cover driver will win his 9.5 grievance.
I’m an on car supervisor and I approve this message.
Ignorant... or manipulative, disrespectful on-car.
I’m not saying you can’t make a case.
Typical teamster: I’m right no matter what you say.
My point is based on past practice in MY center and what I have witnessed. Unlike the rank and file that complain on these types of threads, I only speak on what I see.
Drivers that don’t have a bid route or long term cover rarely win those grievances. File? You can file on anything. Actually get something from it? Doubtful.
Proof that they’re moving the work and changing the route? Also difficult to prove. Even if you filed weekly and followed up, odds are it ends up being a wash.
Any on car worth a salt will OJS his 9.5 opt-ins if he isn’t giving a decent performance. You can argue no such thing as a lock in, but notice I quoted it... but I haven’t had a paying 9.5 grievance in 3 years. Why is that? Because if they fail to maintain they don’t get their penalty pay either.
35 years... calling a person ignorant for stating what they’ve been through in their center is ignorance on your part. I’m a fair supervisor. I enjoy what I do and work well with my group. With so much hate, maybe you should look for employment elsewhere. Teamsters like you are the problem.
No labor manager will tell any center manager how to dispatch if they feel performance is an issue. Stating things like that is how you create hate within the company.
Want to file? You can file as much as you please son. Just like a supervisor can hand out warning letters without following progressive discipline. The CBA is argumentative for a reason and this message thread is a good example. You think you’re right because you read it one way. I’ve read it and in my experience, what I said is true and DOES happen.
If you want to file 9.5 then bid a route. Otherwise, use your 8 hour requests and make it painful that your sup won’t cooperate.
When you guys start acting like adults you may get somewhere. Anyone can file a grievance. The key is will you get paid for it. Probably not.
