Christmas Eve flip/flop?

[comtnbrown]

Ok, so yes I looked up info on UPS website, it says ground services available Christmas Eve. Our management team keeps telling us it's a 3 day weekend, we won't be working Christmas Eve. So what are other centers hearing? Been here 20yrs. and have always worked the eve....

center manager told us last week "if the network is on time, no ground that Saturday". We will see.

You will be working if you are a delivery person. Some feeder people but not all.

It's the first time since 2011 that we've seen this calendar and prior to Saturday ground deliveries. We are being told it's a normal work schedule for everyone with a possible 6th punch for the M-friend schedule employees. Our language does allow for a forced 6th punch when this calendar is in affect, but we are being told they will use as a last resort.

Wouldn’t be a big deal if UPS wasn’t shady as hell. Anyone who’s worked here long enough can envision this company advancing Monday work to avoid a backlog the following two weeks.

New Years was always air only.

But Monday is observance of a holiday so it would be overtime anyways wouldn’t it? It would be considered a working holiday so it would be treated like Black Friday. I would assume anyways.

It would be a regular day for the 22.4 drivers but it would be overtime for all the RPCD drivers on Saturday.
So why pay extra when I send delivered on Tuesday ?

I was referencing the “envision the company pushing work on Monday to stop a potential backlog for 2 weeks” quote.

I'm sure whatever company does will not be the right thing by the customers

Yes I've seen many air trailers just sitting there because they didn't want to spend extra money in resources on getting stuff delivered on time

I'm sure they use some BS Code..

Many articles have been written about this about how the shipping companies are ripping off the customers

 

[Pullman Brown]

If you don’t roll trailers and keep up, Christmas eve will be mostly air and some ground that made the cutoff date. Like everything else with this company, people’s experience will be different around the country.
