[QUOTE="code5, post: 749418, member: 11550"] I'm getting kind of sceptical about UPS. I'm at the point where I'm kind of head shy about anything that happens unfortunately. With every rewards system taken away and even sups trained to even not give intrinsic rewards, I guess I'm kind of pesimistic. Anyways, about the contract. The 500 signing bonus is taxable. Only half will go in your pocket. The four 10 hour shifts won't be something like Mon to Thurs. with a long weekend. All the staff will have staggered days off and the 10 hours will be a min. shift with no O.T. You will end up working till 9P.M. everyday and I'm sure it will open up a new can of worms with weekend shifts. Its the residential deliveries that have exploded over the last few years (Amazon, Meleleuca) so I can see at a company standpoint to have us work when more people may be home. In a very, very small center where I work, the extra days off will be murder on dispatch. I'd rather work five 8 hour shifts with weekends off. Like I said, I feel very snake bitten - but, i'd be happy to eat crow. BTW - is there anything on the manditory 50 min unpaid lunch and 10 min paid break. I heard there was bargaining to shorten the manditory unpaid to 30 min. [/QUOTE]
