[QUOTE="35years, post: 2518252, member: 60822"] I did not sign up for this 35+ years ago. First 30 years at UPS: -Never forced on Saturday -Never forced on a Sunday -Christmas Eve was a short day, sometimes punch before noon and paid for 8 hrs -Never worked over 12 hours, even during peak -Adequate staffing year round allowed 1- 2 day off a week and 8.2 to 8.8 avg dispatch. -Peak was defined as Thanksgiving thru Christmas not all of November and December. The current ridiculous amount of hours some of us are now working is directly attributable to corporate greed, plain and simple. They understaffed in 2013 and were hammered in the press for service failures. In 2014 they put on adequate staff and still made money. This year they understaffed again. Realize that you are now working weekends and 12+ hour days because corporate decided increased profits were more important than your family time. This disrespects the dignity of the human person. We are not slaves. [/QUOTE]
