What does a blue vest mean?

Inside only employees not certified to walk in the yard but walk from building to building.

Ask him if we are losing so much volume then why just last week did UPS earnings beat top and bottom lines. Ask him why guidance is positive growth. Ask him why we used Amazon as an excuse to cut routes and avoid the real reason they cut....greed

I asked him how the companies future looked and he said we survived ww1 and ww2 well get through it.

 

[Hellobrown2000]

Because our ceo, fed ex ceo and Jeff bozos all have Sunday brunch together. They're all incohoots

Our area just had an Amazon distribution center built. I had a part time supervisor tell me UPS was putting supervisors in the Amazon building to help them coordinate peak season...why are we doing this

Only because the benefits are in lesser time. I hear it on the radio everyday.

Only reason why I was there

We have the blue vest thing here too. I had to ask what they were about.

So if they don't make it at UPS they already have a blue vest so they can go right to work at Wal Mart?

Also OT -always worth a chuckle to watch new hires - mid shift- take their blue vests, throw them in the trash and walk out.

It's hard to blame them, though. Every day there's something that makes me shake my head, and say to myself "no wonder nobody wants to work here." I wanted to walk out last night, too. My steward, a guy that's been here 10+ years is threatening to walk out just about every day as well.

The $75/weekly bonus for new hires in 2016 isn't doing much to help keep people, and now all of the people that were here before that are half-assing it or calling in more often.

I wear the blue vest. Its for under 30 days folks. Then you get a blue shirt that says you graduated lol. Can't wait.

Seriously? Do they put their passing packets on the fridge in the break room too?

You sign a poster in the training room @Clock Sucker

 

[Foamer Pyle]

Yeah difference is Amazon is an actual threat to us. Idiots

I will be gone in just over 2 years. I am fine with the idiots running UPS, they do already.

You sound like all the retirees before you. Their tunes changed in light of recent events.

Management has non compete clause when they move to management.

Several managers jumped ship to Amazon. Once they distribution centers began to expand and the air network started.

The Company had nothing to do with that.

Ask him why driver helpers started today, while they sent drivers home with no route to pull

That's an easy win at the grievance hearing

If I was laid off on a day drivers are going out with helpers I would be livid! That should never happen.

Or laid off so new drivers and seasonal drivers could train.

 

[scratch]

We had nine new routes moved to my building starting today as they finish an 8 million dollar expansion. The company doesn't seem to be worried about Amazon.

So you're saying ups can lay off union members with seniority to train seasonal drivers? I don't think so!

 

[Hellobrown2000]

No talk of helpers yet and our preloads start time is still 330 4.
