9.5 is a joke

[wornoutupser]

I have filed to be on the 9.5 list.

I am still working almost as much since I filed. My workweek barely has a dent in it. I have gone from 56-58 hours a week to 54-55.

My question is this: since I want less hours, what is next to force UPS to honor my request? I am filing for the penalty pay but they do not seem to care. Any great strategies out there?

 

[silenze]

They are testing you to see if your going to file or not. If you keep filing they will adjust your hours.

 

[wornoutupser]

I have plenty of greivance forms!

 

[WorknLateHuh]

hours are out of control here too. They just pay it out.

Next contract it should be 8 hours mandatory across the board, with an opt in for overtime

[dookie stain]

I drunk I've had 9.5 beers and lots of whiskey

 

[wornoutupser]

maybe my boss did to????

Where my ladies at?!

Everybody needs to get on the list and file grievances. They will load me up two days and try to keep me down the rest of the week. If you aren't on the list, you will probably get more stops from somebody who is. At a certain point, they will put in more routes if the penalty pay is costing the company more. It kills me with some thirty-year drivers in my Center who complain about the overtime but are too scared to stand up for themselves.

 

[SaladTosser]

It's true. You have to keep filing grievances so they know to take you seriously. For now, just enjoy the free money

You know you can file on them loading you up those two days. Just because 9.5 regards only two days going over for them to fix it, doesn't mean they can friend you Monday and Tuesday. It should be consistent all week. Look it up.

And on a side note. I work out of the same building as the shooting that took place and allegedly he was disgruntled about excessive OT. You think that would change things around here but it's only gotten worse. Don't expect anything from these greedy garbage people. File and stick up for yourself. They can't fire you for grieving

Bring that truck back to the center that 8 hours hits whether you still have left or not. Let them deal with it.

Huh?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Huh?

I believe he is taking about 8 hour days. In the central states you have the right to bring the truck back in 8 hours.

Can't do that here (northeast).

 

[Indecisi0n]

We all get those center manager's that don't care. Just keeping filing 95 and also 8 he request and make a killing until he leaves.

Huh?

You better have a 8 hour request if you do that or you won't have to worry about 9/5 anymore you won't have a job. We have no quit delivering in 8 hours in the central region or any region I know of

Nor do we and if I remember you have to work over 8.5 to get double time for any hours over 8.
