Disqualified during peak

[zubenelgenubi]

By reading that language it seems like you will be allowed to retain your time towards qualification if they continue to use you to deliver ground after they've disqualified you.We had a guy here a few years ago that was able to use his peak season days (free period) towards his qualification. I don’t see why you couldn’t do the same. I suggest you continue to drive as needed and then file a grievance to keep your job based on that language.

Don’t give up. Corporate UPS can be quite evil at times but that doesn’t mean you have to take it. To be honest, UPS is a sinking ship. It may not go down completely anytime soon but it’s probably inevitable. But, if you think that you want to try to make a career out of it anyway then by all means don’t give up!

That's the way I read that language.

I posted another post that says what the supplement says. I’m a little confused on the interpretation of it though. They said most of the time it’s a year, but the supplement says if I DQ myself it’s a year. I guess I just hang in there and find another day job while I wait it out again.

You didn't post all the language. What supplement are you under?

So I was disqualified today, Friday would have been my 30 days. They also sent me out to drive and told me I will continue to drive through seasonal. That doesn't make any sense to tell me I'm not qualified to drive, but will continue to drive. Is this how it typically works?

Yes.

You are correct in that if you DQ yourself you have to wait a year.

Would you like some advice? Keep driving through Peak and show them that they made a mistake by not qualifying you. Bust your butt, offer to help out (if needed), show them that you are a team player and let the chips fall where they may.

Worst advice I’ve ever read.

He's already proved he's qualified for the job numb nuts.

He was making scratch and was only over by 15 min the day they DQ him. This during our busiest time of year. Managment used a simple mistake to DQ him because they don't want to keep him around after the season.

Which is why the OP should not drive at route a peak. Management wants it both ways, this is an instance where the OP has the upper hand.

Loading boxes on a pkg car will certainly show them who is boss.

This is what the supplement says... the union hall said usually one year is how long your disqualified for, is that how you all would interpret this new supplement? The paragraph before this one states that if you disqualify yourself then you have to wait a year, but I didn’t disqualify myself. I am not sure how this is to be read.

In the event a probationary employee is disqualified by the Employer from a package car driving position before completing the thirty (30) working day probationary period described in Article 1, Section 1, and is subsequently used to deliver a ground package route, those days will count towards the thirty (30) days worked in the ninety (90) consecutive day period commencing with the first day worked in the probationary period. If the employee is the successful bidder on a new opening, said employee will begin a new thirty (30) day probationary period.

Just got around to reading the supplement section. It looks like you can bid again immediately on the next driving job that opens. It's only a year if you dq yourself, or if you get dq'ed more than once.

I do like that language about them continuing to have you drive after dq'ing you, and having that count towards your 30 in 90. Sounds like that has been a common enough problem to negotiate into the supplement. I would keep driving and file to keep the driving job if you get over 30 days in.

Are you breathing?
If yes, you can drive through peak.

Of course.

Moneybags...

One of my vehicles is a 1999 Camry that just turned 20 years old. How much money would I have thrown away if I had rented said vehicle for 20 years?

...and don't tell me to "do the math".

You just did the math. 2019-1999=20. Excellent work. Lol.

20 year leases are extremely rare.

...was the question.

I'll type slower in the future.

I'll not attempt humor in the future. Well- I probably will. Sorry if you are maybe having bad day.
