I hate you.6 weeks vacation at 25 years in, 1 optional week, 4 optional days, 8 paid holidays, and 6 sick days a year
But hey, I put my 8 hr request in only 24 hours in advance, and bring stops back if I will be over 8. All of this stuff should be the same for the entire country.

Six weeks vacation. Five option days. Three sick days. Cannot bring back over 8 requests. AND, wait for it, we don’t bid routes, we bid start times.

That's really bad!
We keep our routes indefinitely.
Unless they re-loop the center, which used to happen about every 20 years.
With ORION it wont ever happen again.
My 8 hours usually end up being 7.5 and paid for 8. They don't like to find me help.

Do you guys at least have language that prevents them from forcing a 6th punch/Saturday for M-friend drivers?
You must have some goody in your supplement to balance that out.
I can't even fathom what would be worth not keeping my own route.

Hey how much will your pension pay if there is no UPS? Keep up with the hand cuffs that the competition does not have. Keep kidding yourself that we are losing market share to FDX because of bad management. Competition eats our lunch because they have flexibility’s we do not. That’s the fact jack. Tell Mr Roark and Tatoo I said hello.
That's crazy

No forced weekend work for anyone with seniority date from Aug ‘02 or something like that. I asked a bunch of old timers what we got in exchange for no bidded routes, none of them can remember.
No bidded route would suck

It’s just weird, people have their own routes, but aren’t guaranteed to not be moved to cover other ones from time to time. Some guys get moved a lot, others hardly ever.
They got Easter Sunday off?
We have bid route language here. After a few times you get penalty pay

Hey at least we dont have to hear your bull
excuses why you cant keep us under when are production is good. Love walking into my center manager's office and having him tell me how great he is going to treat me if I dont go on the 9.5 list. I immediately lift my feet and he asks why, I say I dont want the to get on my feet.

Well that is a big one for newer drivers.
We were forced to work Saturdays (several) the last few years during peak...Newer drivers more than long time drivers.
Someone should create an excl or Google doc to compare/contrast the different supplements. The Union will never do it, or the natives would get restless. No doubt one exists for company negotiators.

Paid break counts towards 9.5, unpaid does not as of the current contract. So you would work a 10 hr 10 min with full break.

You guys only get a 10min break?! I thought our one 15min break was bad since I heard some places get 2 separate 10min breaks.

We get 2-10 min. And a 3 after 10 hrs I believe. When I transferred to places that had one 15 min, I still took 2-10 min.
