Does seniority prevail with having to go help people at the end of day?

[QUOTE="Faceplanted, post: 3845150, member: 56697"] My suppliment says the work week is either 5 consecutive days or 4 10s..... but from what I understand, there was a dot ruling that says if you are too “fatigued” to work safely, you can call out and explain that you physically and mentally cannot work. I’m too lazy to look for the ruling, but I know there was one. If it ever went to an arbitrator, I’m sure they would agree that 55-60hrs in 5 days would be excessive. Some people have to wake up early to get their kids ready for school or handle responsibilities, so that 14 hour day at ups could result in only 4-5 hours of sleep. Do that for 5 days and it becomes and issue. Bubblehead, from what I have seen in every center.... once Saturdays became a things you were either a Mon-fri driver or tue-sat. It’s 100% unreasonable to make somebody work 6 days after working 5 days a week for 11 months. Some drivers in my center are divorced fathers who only have their kids on the weekends. How would they be able to change their life on the snap of managments fingers? I also know of a couple drivers who take care of their elderly family members on the weekends, weather it be going grocery shopping for them, or doing maintenance on their house. It’s absolutely unreasonable to tell somebody on Thursday night that you are forced to work a 6 day. [/QUOTE]
