I'm sure I have over looked or maybe it was in another thread. What about working on Saturdays? Do you see us working on a Saturday and if so, should it be time and half or double time?

I don't see us ever working a Saturday.
They just posted bids for tues-sat in my building the other day. 5 full-time /5 part-time to full-time contingent no full-time signs and that's for 2 centers. Only 1 full-timer signed when it went down, the part-time is still up for a day and only 2 people have signed that.
Heard they will be forcing bottom 20 in each Center to tues-sat. Just over 100 drivers in each Center. Once Saturday delivery starts

Address the over 70's.
Since we have the freight division, anything over 70 lbs shall be sent UPS Freight.

We would lose most if not all of that volume as it would be cost prohibitive to send them LTL.

Im not advocating getting rid of the over 70's, but maybe some of these amazon, QVC, and whatever else junkies that order that 100# bookcase or dresser or recliner would stop and think before they click "place order" on one of the websites if they actually had to pay shipping costs.
I often wonder how much it actually costs Amazon to ship one of those bookcases and how many are returned due to damage from insufficient packing.

That is hilarious but so impractical in our dysfunctional center right now.

What about raising the allotment allowed in each center for personal days by 1 day. So, 1-29 drivers in a center gets two instead of 1 etc.. As long as it doesn't affect service our center manager already allows more drivers off anyway. It's nothing big but it's something, especially for smaller centers.

There are more and more over 70 packages everyday. Probably resulting in more injuries over the long term, weather you handle them properly or not. (Use your handtruck young buck!!!!!!). I don't know what can be done, but I do agree it needs to be addressed.

All customers who ship an over-70 pay by being tarred and feathered.
In other proposals:
On top of the grievance process, if a supervisor is caught working (unless they are demonstrating or the list is exhausted), all union employees are allowed to say nothing except "DEY TERK ER JERBS!" to said supervisor for one week.

I totally agree but I wanted to beat Dave to the red X....lol
Well, I think we should be expanding potential holidays of the future. Since we will be delivering Saturday very soon if not currently, I'm guessing it will be a matter of time it will run into Sunday. So days like Easter, Palm Sundays and the likes should be addressed prior to the implementation.

This kind of stuff needs to be hammered out now, or at least some basic starter language being "born"...and this should include drones and self driving trucks...this next contract is going to be very interesting... And should be very extensive...
