FedEx, UPS Find Formula for Delivering Seven Days a Week: Discount Sunday Drivers - Market Screener

Sundays will soon look a lot like weekdays at FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc., as delivery drivers fan out to neighborhoods to deliver online orders to doorsteps.

But there will be a key difference: Drivers working that day will be paid at a much lower rate than those who drive during the week.

FedEx and UPS, with some assistance from the U.S. Postal Service, will rely mostly on this lower-paid army of delivery drivers as the companies work to turn a profit. The bulk of deliveries will be residential, which are more costly than deliveries to businesses. Both companies recently disclosed the new seven-day-a-week schedule, which starts in January after the busy holiday season.

I can believe it...the union is a joke and I think they could've gotten a better contract some drivers are already getting screwed with the whole 22.4

Sunday is Day 1 of the work week, not Day 7.

At least it is at Express. I learned that lesson the hard way.

If it's your 7th consecutive punch, it's double-time. At least that's how it works here in California.

When the recession hits, this contract is gonna look pretty darn good.

I was told that once.

Just wanted to reiterate.

It won't just be drivers working 7 days a week it'll be us part time hourlies too somebody has to load the trucks and the package car drivers are too lazy to do it themselves and I could see them going to the union saying in a whiney voice how come we have to work 7 days a week but the hourlies don't
