Are 13 to 14 hour days worthy of a NO vote?

[Brownslave688]

Depends what you mean by that statement.

Can a driver entitled to 40 min of unpaid lunch punch out with 0 min unpaid lunch taken at 13 hours and 59 mins?...yes.

Do some drivers even punch out at 14 hours and 15 min with no unpaid lunch taken?.....
Yes.
And they are not in violation of the 14 hour rule if not driving the last 15 min.

It happened all the time last peak. Drivers tried to run out of hours (70) before Friday punch out, so they would not be forced Saturday.

They had to clock in late the following day (after a 14+ hour shift) to satisfy the 10 hr rule.

That is how messed up the 70 hr rule makes things.

You said could be 11:59. I thought you meant delivering til then.


Yes you CAN work after 14. Just can't drive. They really try to keep that from happening from what I've seen because then it screws with your start time the next day.

HERE, you can't change your start time. You work past 14, you do not work your next day.

What I do with my sweat towel when I see my ORS after a 14 hr day during peak...

 

[Slow walker]

I can see 70 for peak week but not for the rest of the year.

I guess your center didn't work 70 a week last peak or you'd feel different.

Yes we did.

YUP

 

[BigUnionGuy]

We were forced to work a 6th day even if we already had 68.5 hrs worked in 5 days.

Did the company fulfill your 8 hr Guarantee ?

Or, did drivers just bend over ?



-Bug-

 

[UPSjedi41]

The next time I have to work 14 hours, it’s an automatic call in the next day. Peak or not

Those who wanted 8 hours here, got bent over by being a driver helper to a peak hire.

I would be one slow ass helper sing Cha Ching every time I slowly walked a package off.

You wouldn’t have a choice.

I'll be voting no on any contract that says UPS can force us to work up to 70 hours. I know a lot of guys I work with will be doing likewise.

 

[Blackadder 2]

How many years has UPS been in service? How many peak seasons? I've driven 30 peak seasons so far and the last one was the first to force 70 hours.
UPS got the job done all those other years without forcing 70.

UPS used to be run by people that knew how to do the job.

Now we are run by people who look at a computer scene and come up with plans that look great on paper and fail in the real world.

Remember we are talking about people that thought Orion was a great idea.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

You wouldn’t have a choice.

If that's what I had to do , I would do it.

Charge double time for overtime hours and watch Peak become a fun season again !!!!

Keep your $10 an hour helper for 3.99 hours and let the driver work 4 hours overtime at $54 an hour. Gotta maintain those stops per hour....
