Judge me.
Hmmmm... Three days over 9.5 worked. I see how this could be a hard sell. Lol!!
We're there any "events outside the employers control" on any of those days?
9.5 starts tomorrow...

They tried this with me for a while. What most drivers seem to do is give the guy helping them just enough work to make 9.5.
I made sure to give away much more work then I needed to. So that I was in under 9 hours. When management would complain I would tell them. "If you're going to leave it up to me to make 9.5 then I'm going to make sure I do."
After horrible numbers on my route and who ever had to help me route also. They started sending me out with less. Not saying it will work in your center but I recommend trying it. Come in at 8.5 3 days in a row and watch them freak out.

So disregard the contract because it costs like $25? If numerous stewards throughout the local agree it should go to panel then the BA should listen.
A little back info, our BA had at the time been the BA for about 8 months and had no previous experience with Ups. I still don't think he has figured out what a beast Ups really is. From what I have gathered, on center level hearings he lets the stewards argue all the cases and he goes with what the stewards say. In my opinion he should be fighting harder for the members because that's who pays his salary.

I'm sure the company could come up with some "excuses", but none that hold water.

This is a smart plan. We just had a warning letter given this week for being instructed to meet a driver and give him stops. Must make curfew. The driver missed by 10 minutes. The other driver may get ticked but you need to be sure you have plenty of time to spareThey tried this with me for a while.

I wish I could come in even one day at 8.5 hours lol. Like I said, they dispatch very high knowing they will have to send someone to take stops. No one ever comes to take stops until usually 17:00, so by that time I have to give them 95% of my stops so I can make it back to the center in under 9.5 hours. They won't ever allow me to work under 9 unless I file for an 8 hour request.They tried this with me for a while.

Yeah it screws the other driver but if they don't want to help. Get on the 9.5 list.
Though most of the guys that had to help me were usually guys that wanted 13hr days. So I was lucky.

That would be easier then transferring 80 ish stops every time, might have to try it out.So next time switch cars with him and just drive in.
I think it's more like $5000

Whether I was giving stops or getting stops I made them give me a number
How many stops do you want me to give or take
Not my job to make those decisions

It does cost the local money though. Depending on where the panels will be. The local has to pay for travel, rooms, food, car and I'm sure many other things. It adds up.
