We only have about 1/3rd the normal amount of preloaders working the 26th. Everything I've heard is it's a short day with not much volume.
Day after Christmas

I was hoping to work Sunday AM. Take advantage of the EZ extra time while you can.

Sundays are not straight time. There is Saturday work here...but i'm not losing more sleep for 4 hours ST.

Family Leave Fridays!!!
We had a expanded air sort scheduled for Saturday open to volunteers (6:00AM start - OT) and a full, mandatory sort scheduled Sunday (4:00AM start - 2OT). On Tuesday, we were told the Sunday sort was off in favor of a mandatory Saturday sort instead (new start time = 2:30AM)... then at the last minute yesterday (literally), we were told the Saturday sort was off and only a handful of volunteers were needed for about 1-2 hours for Saturday air.

Quit. Show your willingness to stand up for yourself, then. Go pass out shopping carts at Walmart and show the Teamsters the depth of your conviction.

I enjoy my job too much and am willing to pay the ridiculous unions fees to continue what I'm doing.
hope this helps

The only pickups made on Christmas Eve are those scheduled through the 1-800#. The air will be forwarded but the ground will sit until Friday so there is no use in picking up any ground.

As a matter of fact they do. Tuesday night into Wednesday, lay-off Wednesday night(except air trailer to airport) off Thursday Christmas. Guys running Sun-Thurs runs are set for a long holiday. Mon-Fri runs have to come in on Friday after Christmas.
Some places are closed Friday. So we will pickup their packagges on Wednesday.

...so they can sit in a pile in a corner somewhere in your building...?
A few years ago I made the executive decision to close out the UPS Store on Christmas Eve to save myself from having to deal with it on the 26th. My center manager was not very happy with me.

That would not fly in our building. Everything goes into a retain trailer and with no reload working on the 24th YOU'D be scanning and loading your executive decision in there yourself.

To be fair, he had told us in the morning not to make any pickups, so.....
We put them In a empty package car or two.

As of this coming Monday my center is running 109 routes, give or take, fri after Christmas 50. Easiest day of the year!!
You do not work for the union.
You are on your second peak. You are still a rookie. I retired after 34 1/2 years, and I could still come back and work circles around you.
But, you are probably a better shoe salesperson.
