Does anyone else dream of a day when UPS will be a better place to work?

[QUOTE="ovadispatchd, post: 1129250, member: 44411"] Does UPS really think this style of management is sustainable? I mean yea... sure, drivers never quit. They pay us just enough to keep us from walking away from a bad day and never coming back. I know its happened but in comparison to most jobs, probably not that often. Some people think we're crazy for complaining about too many hours especially in this economy. But I dream of a UPS where a long day is 9 hours, not 12 hours. Hell, I've only been driving for 6 years. Back then going over 10 was a big deal. In my center, I'm constantly hearing about over 11 and over 12. Maybe the next contract needs to have new language regarding OT pay. It seems to me that this is bottom on the union's list of priorities because like I said nowadays the norm is not enough hours at most jobs. I propose this new scale. ...over 10 double time + 20 minute bonus ...over 11 triple time + 20 minute bonus ...over 12 triple time + 20 minute bonus Then maybe they'll think twice about abusing us day after day after day with ridiculous amounts of work.
