Covid-19 & 9.5

[Wally]

So my center manager got six 9.5 grievances this morning and I was told he'll get 3 more tonight. Anyone else's center getting showered with 9.5 grievances during this pandemic?

The pandemic has zero to do with this. A deal is a deal. FILE AWAY!

I have to wonder how many of the 3.3 million people who filed unemployment claims for the first time as a result of Covid-19 would gladly trade places and wouldn't say a word about the OT.

Sucks to be them. Is the company returning all the profit earned from us working late?

I wonder how many could actually do the job

What are the week endings of these grievances?

Are they current as in last two weeks?

I need to know. I feel the company is going to be taking a different approach when it comes to current 9.5’s during this pandemic.

How can they take a different approach?

The contract is the contract.

Simple Really

My building has seen drops in volume. Wait till the layoffs start people

I absolutely agree with you. BUT, you need more than a grievance and a good b.a. to get paid sometimes.


9.5 language is national language. We all need to stick together right now and formulate a plan to combat the company. Which I am working on. I’m hoping to get all our brothers and sisters paid what’s owed to us during this pandemic.

Just need a bit of info from anyone in the country who has had their 9.5 grievances heard that are dated during this pandemic.

Are they allowing free shipping? Heck no. Cashing every check.

I’m just a lowly steward.

But I believe the company is taking a stance on 9.5’s right now. That stance being that they are not going to pay them “during This pandemic”

this company violates the contract on a daily basis. You surprised they don’t want to pay all these 9.5’s???

I absolutely agree with you. The company violated the contract and we should be paid.

but if it was just that easy there would be no need for stewards or B.A’s

I wonder why old Geezers that retired and promised to never return to this site still come on here thinking anyone will give 2 s about what they have to say.

Me too. @UpstateNYUPSer--why do you do that?

Not the point.

You guys will be making upward of $40/hr at the end of the current contract and you are bitching about having to work a little bit of OT. Your bills will be paid on time and you won't be up at night wondering how you were going to feed your kids or keep the lights on.

What’s your point?

you think it’s ok for the company to violate a legally binding contract everyday?

I bet your enjoying the fruits of your union retirement plan right about now.

you really don’t understand. I feel bad for you.

I understand fully. I feel bad for those of you who feel that you are entitled to earn 100K and bitch about having to work a little bit of OT during a national emergency.

so you think we’re punching out 6 or 7?

I’m up at 6am, home around midnight. Every. Single. Day. The company is doing nothing during this virus. It is busier than peak. It’s pretty much going to be peak all year then rolling right into peak at already peak volume. It’s business as usual at ups. There is language the company agreed to abide by. We need to hold them to it because if not, what else should we let them get away with. Should we give up our health benefits because other employees of other companies don’t get any?

Who's beotching? Company agreed to share some of those massive profits if we have to work over 9.5.

I’m gonna put it to you like this.

There is a national emergency going on.

So why the eff do I have a truck full of pottery barn furniture and rugs.

the company is doing nothing during this national emergency. It is business as usual and then they are telling us they are not going to pay 9.5’s because there is a pandemic going on.

no dice. Adjust the load, hold all non essential irregs and give us the smalls, meds, food and toiletries.

but slamming us with all the volume and telling us to look the other because we want you to???

NO.

I don't see you coming out of retirement to help out during this "national emergency." It's worldwide, old timer. We're being told business as usual. So the bitching about overtime - business as usual. It's no different than any other year you've worked in the past. We're getting carpets, NDA t-shirts, buckets of paint, crappy 150 lb furniture. It's still coming, and there's really no sense behind it other than for them to keep up their numbers.

We do not need to be out here until 11pm every night delivering non sense to everybody. We have families at home that need us to be home as well.
