Happened to me, but no discipline. Especially after I said yeah that was the center manager calling me.

No sir. Call them like I see em. Seniority is the only work life benefit, but unfortunately local management should be exposed for not respecting this basic dignity. Strange bed fellows indeed.

My experiences is local management. Will certainly try to get away with anything The membership will allow. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I'm extremely pro business as far as making UPS successful now and in the future. The conflicts of interest with regards to self interest over ethics and leadership boggle the mind.

Not sure how long you’ve worked here, but prepare for much mind-boggling in regards to ethics and UPS.

I’m right behind you and I’m not shocked anymore, our union isn’t perfect, but it’s the only thing we have protecting us. It has its flaws and Warts. But much of the time we are in charge of what happens simply by holding the company accountable.

Do the math. I started back when the whole hub was staffed with 18 year Olds. No need for automation when labor is getting it done.

You sound like you started around the same time I did I was also 18. we seen some pretty amazing advancements that I would’ve never guessed or possible when I first became a UPS employee.
I remember when we started scanning packages it was called Ground trac service not every package was scanned, and it was laughable in my opinion to think that we could even do that.
I remember having to type in every address in the diad board because it wasn’t loaded in there you.
I’m not afraid of technological advancement because I understand without good humans using it and running it it’s worthless.

Because I started so young and didn’t go full-time for quite a few years I would technically need 47 years seniority to receive zero pension penalties. Of course that’s not going to happen.

18+lets say 38 YOS =56 How is that not old enough? I'm just curious, believe me I get it if you don't want to retire our #1 guy in my old feeder dept is well into his 70's. Mandatory SS, pension and works 50 hours a week.
