[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1694238, member: 43436"] This will vary not only building to building, but from sort to sort -- and sometimes area to area (for example, if you load trucks in my building, you'll average at least .5 hours more per day). As a [U]generalization[/U]... in a non-hub, Preload will work more hours than Local Sort (or equivalent, e.g. Twilight/Sunset/Reload/etc.) Hours by shift in a large hub seem to heavily vary, probably based upon the favorability of the local/regional supplement as well as available labor poll. For example, Louisville is a competitive labor environment, so PTers report forced overtime & an abundance of double shifting opportunities. In Jacksonville (IIRC), if PTers are scheduled for 8 hours, they're not entitled to OT thus UPS has been known to take advantage of this. I have long advocated the PT guarantee should be upped to 4, but the union has responded by saying that the majority of PTers work in excess of 4, and forced overtime is just as much a complaint. Most BrownCafe participants complain about the 17.5 hour diet, but we do have some that complain about excessive shifts -- not just in hubs, but in the Los Angeles, New York and Boston areas. Of course, the composition of posters doesn't represent anything but... how long does the average PTer work? I'm fairly confident that for Preload, it's "around" 20, for Local Sort (and equivalent) less than 20 and for large hubs the number is unique to the operating environment -- but probably between 20-25 for most. Peak season & large buildings in unique situations (like Louisville) drive paper averages hub. [/QUOTE]
