[QUOTE="Heavy Package, post: 3755154, member: 70051"] This is happening at my hub as well. The whole issue that bothers me with this is the lack of communication and "bid list" or volunteers. Think about it with 2 scenarios that UPS has in mind: 1. Reduce planned day to reduce OT on existing drivers. Pros: Drivers get off earlier and in theory service improves with quicker times to deliver everything and do pickups. Cons: Drivers who are the family breadwinner or who want the OT take a massive pay cut 2. 22.4 Drivers coming on board Pros: Lower paid total cost to UPS to deliver packages. approx. 9 hrs on-road means they have time to fill hub preload staffing issues Cons: Existing drivers can be laid off, drivers are now 2-tiered and there is really no turn back for 5 years Our Union did nothing but support this in the TA. This is a huge concession where it limits choices for existing drivers, will cut pay for those who want the OT, and was completely unnecessary to have. Simple win-win is put up bid lists or sign up sheets. There will always be people with their own circumstances who want the OT, are willing to work on weekends, etc. to staff. Existing supplements also address weekend work, etc. HUGE CONCESSION! VOTE NO!!! [/QUOTE]
