They can advance the Holiday to Sunday. You were paid right !!!! New Years Eve and New Years day paid for Sunday start at 20:30 Monday paid straight time. You have to start and finish on the Holiday to get paid double time!!!!!

Why would you be wroking 12/25 Tu?? All preload pkgs will be at the hub xmas eve for del on Wed but htere wont be much for the pre load that day, only if your start time is after 12:00 am on xmas nite there might be some shifters for the pre load. Most everything is being pushed through the system this week, by xmas eve there will be hardly any thing left in the system. Feeders is usally a sign up day most of us will take the lay off. so if you are monday thru friday you have a 4 day weekend comming up, if you are Tues thru Sat or Sunday thru Thurs you will prob be working this weekend.

Here Sunday starters get just Monday off, while Monday starters that start after 5:00 AM get Monday and Tuesday off (Monday is unpaid). There is a sign-up sheet for a few runs to be made Christmas Eve afternoon/night. This is most likely the way it is nationwide for hubs that have midnight sorts Sunday-Thursday. Since the volume that is process on the midnight sort Sunday is for Monday delivery, then in order to have new volume for delivery on December 26th the Midnight sort either has to work Christmas Eve night or Christmas night. Now how many people do you think would rather work Christmas Eve night especially those with young kids. It's just another con of feeders vs package car. After all, you expect the company to tell all our customers nationwide that they will not receive any deliveries on the 26th just so no UPSers have to work Christmas night.

My understanding is the loads that would be moved by feeders over either the Christmas or New Year Holiday will be air related. Last year the same proposition came up, but to my knowledge the work never materialized in our area. I suppose it could be a contigency plan for weather related problems....

All the volume that has two or more days time in transit, pick-up volume from Friday or earlier. As for the work on Christmas Eve afternoon/night, will be picking up high air volume accounts and moving the air volume after air sort is completed.

How sad UPS even figured out a way to make us work Christmas. Life is too short. I wonder when your old and in bad shape will you say I wish I could have worked more,(to earn even more money for my family) or will you say I wish I would have spent more time with my family. I can tell by reading some of your post that some of you are to far gone.
My Dad also worked all the time, ( he is now dead) I would trade anything just to spend one more Chritmas day with him. Mery Christmas

I will help ya out if its that important
1. Take of your shirt
2. Take off your pants and underwear
3. Look between your legs and see if there is a shaft like mechanism with 2 round objects
4. Those are called balls, you now have them
5. Pick up the phone 2 hours before your start time and call your office.
6. say "Hello Mr Supervisor, I am sick today and I will not be coming in to work"
7. Enjoy your holiday and I will see you in a few days.
btw this is in no means directing the work force. This is what I would do if I really really needed the day

how about calling in and saying " I'll scratch your eyes out if I can't get the day off
"

Wah
Sir that is entirely incorrect. Some have to ask to have said round objects removed from wife`s purse,then they may call Mr. Sup.......

1. Have them call me, I make house calls.
2. Follow steps 1 and 2 from list up above.
3. I will make the phone call to the boss
It is all our choice. As bad as the work might suck, or as long as the day might be, I am not complaining about my vacation, my pay, the ability for my wife to stay home with the kids, the fact that we have a nice house, are able to afford many extra luxuries in life, ability to accrue sick days, for those that dont call in sick, option days on top of our vacation weeks. Yea, the job might be tough, but if the rewards werent there, many wouldnt stick around.

theres some good advice. Do you put those two round objects on the phone when you call?
What happens if it results in a missed customer pickup or missed service because the sup can't get anyone cdl qualified including management to answer the phone?
What happens if it results in a loss of business and then that guys position in feeders because the work was not moved?
Does he continue to let those round things think for him or should he then put them back where he found them?
must be one of those 804 things to let those round things do your thinking for you.
