Yes.
I'm not sure how that worked.

I'm beyond lost as to how they keep their independent contractor status going.

And the contractors were also upset because they were getting stuck with all the large packages and the other guys were getting the easy stuff.
They pay off lawmakers. It's kinda messed up. They're all about deregulation and limiting government control but when it comes to contractors, they can't exert enough of that same limiting control.

One of the truest statements I've ever seen on here. Yes we point fingers at management but honestly...it's the old fart cry babies who continue to ruin things on the union side. Then they call anyone under 45 that ever complains "entitled." Far from it.. We didn't get to experience UPS in the good old days. Nothing entitled about that.

It can also be argued that the new Guys are selling out by not knowing their rights thanks to the contract, delivering ground for air driver rates, skipping their lunch, and not being involved in the union or for what it stands for.

You did describe runner gunners to a T. I called them out too. Not all new guys can be painted under a broad brush.

I have personally attempted to "mentor" and I have seen other drivers to the same. New full time guys complain about being sent home, we tell them file, they say they don't want a target. Some work tue-sat, and still come in Monday per our dispatch sup, sit around. Sometimes work and get off a tue, sometimes get sent home. We tell them listen, you are tue-sat. Don't come in Monday. The union will have your back. Next week their all there Monday again.
No balls. We have the pay and benefits we had because our more senior brother made sacrifices up to and including a strike.
I'll be honest, I would suspect a good 10-20% would cross the line at the modern ups I work for

I've seen it about a dozen times on here.
I'm not a manager, but I'll accept the pay bump. I'm pretty reasonable as far as UPS goes.

What is to stop a regular seasonal in one of our vehicles from doing that?
Oh. And remember in the the 90's RDI was implemented to save money! (Rural Delivery,danget, forgot what I stranded for) This is when a driver would deliver pkgs to the north and west one day then to the south and east the next. No xxxx just through the pkgs under the belt at the center and hall ass. Try explaining that to your customers that you tried to earn respect for 20 some odd years. I would get responses from customers like, sorry Ed my box should have been hear yesterday, I may just have to go with another carrier, Sorry.

And an overwhelming majority of that compensation can't be touched unless performance targets are hit.

They're peak drivers. No union jobs are going anywhere.
