9.5 list is back on this week

[BigBrown87]

I really hope this is the year that either one of two things happen. 1. UPS goes into a frantic panic and reverts back to long days and OT abuse or..... 2. These new 22.4s come in and the bed and this new great contract proposal that the union suggested makes them have egg on their face. Personally I really don't care either which way, either one points the finger at one of them to hold accountability on their word that 22.4s would be the savior for RCPD's 9.5 issues.

Listen guys, we just have to have a little faith in the decision making from above

Filed my 9.5 grievance Fri night

 

[Zowert]

So, our building has not been going over
9.5. Do you all think this is something that will stick? Do you think the company makes more money by having more drivers on the road and keeping everyone under 9.5 or do you think they make more by cutting routes?

8 hours OT the last two days. Bring it on today so I can file for the triple time.

Tonight will be my 3rd day over 9.5 unless i magically get some help. I'll have to see how next week goes but 9.5 grievance looks likely. Got screwed on a route wednesday, had to help a man baby of a driver last night cause he threw a fit about the pos truck he had and today we're short trucks due to some parts freeze. So i got blown out with the neighboring guys stuff that wouldn't fit. Fun stuff

Same here, and they are begging us to come in on Saturday to get ahead of Monday’s volume. I am heavier today than any day during peak...

Yep back to business as usual here. 11 hour days everyday this week.

No. Can't be. It's the new UPS with 8 hour dispatches everyday and no overtime. What a crock. Did they
expect anybody to believe that garbage.

Everyday we're told to stay under 9.5 however disbatched with an impossible amount of spread out stops. They send daily message asking for eta and even though I give a time later then 9.5 I get a message saying please stay under 9.5! It's turned into another way to harass us to oblige the computers numbers regardless of real world situations. And trying to speak to them about it is impossible because you get the dumbfounded gaze the whole conversation.

Idk what it costs to put another truck on the road with ins. etc.

If you have 32 people with just 1 hr OT that's around $1700

Put on 4 more 8 hr routes most likely with people in progression that's around $700. $1000 difference

So what's the cost to put a truck out? It must be more than $250.

You are overlooking benefits and pension.
The COBRA on our FT medical is currently about $1600 per month, regardless of whether that employee works 40 hours a week or 70. So the company saves on benefits by working fewer people more hours.
Same deal with pension. We get $10+ per hour in pension contributions on our first 2,080 compensated hours. After that, zero. So the cost difference between a full scale driver and a new hire/22.4 is partially offset once that full scale driver has been compensated for 2,080 hours in a calendar year and the company is no longer making pension contributions on him but still making them on any hours worked by the new hire.

Ok, I'm curious. It's 6 weeks into the new year. Has UPS kept their magic promise about no overtime
or at least nobody over 9.5?

So far here they have. The OT guys are freaking out. We have guys almost at each other's throats over late picks.

Second week into January I was working more hours than I did during peak. Third week I was still over 52 hours that week. Fourth week I got on the 9.5 list.

On selective days

Anybody who has wanted to go on the 9.5 has had the chance to do so literally the first week after Jan. 15 or all but one or two of the weeks thereafter.

Others, instead of joining the list, taking Voluntary layoffs for 2 weeks straight now.

I'm saying one day the company doesn't care about 9.5, the next day they are freaking out about it.

Others have taken it further, taking Voluntary layoffs for 2 weeks straight now.

We are currently working under the old contract, so 9.5 protection started January 1st for us.

 

[Grey]

They are keeping us under but bitching about over/allowed more than ever.

 

[DeliveryMachine]

Not a peep about over allowed for me and I stay around 2 hours over a day. Been working 9.5-11 hours a day. Show me the money!

 

[Wally]

Are they still doing automatic OJS for anybody who gets on the 9.5 list?

This.

I've been between 50-52 hours every week since the new year started. Not a word has been said about going over 9.5. Right now the hot topic in our center is backing, or reduction of. It was hour lunches, but I guess that's old now.
