same damn thing is happening to me right now... check this out though, the sup actually told me that it's in our contract that if time is conflicting with our customer service, then management is allowed to do union jobs. right away that sounded wrong so I called my shop steward... filing my grievance tonight. my sup worked almost an hour and a half this week while we're under staffed. I'm currently loading our busiest feeder trailer by myself with about 400 pieces an hour. it's a lot harder than the management thinks. seems like alls they understand is numbers.
Typical lies.
Listen to this one; on Columbus day, managers (supposably higher-ups) were telling part-timers who don't know any better , that they were not making time-and-a-half for hours worked on the Holiday. These intentional lies were interestingly at the same time volume is/was down and they wanted 30 people to go home before their 3 1/2, or before the shift started. It worked, alot of newbies and don't know betters went home!
Nothing surprises me anymore.
Hate to burst your bubble but Columbus Day is not a UPS holiday. We trade Columbus and Veteran's Day(s) for the day after Thanksgiving.
I got time and a half for hours worked ($34.68/hr), plus 8 hours Holiday pay, so it is here in N.E.
Seriously? I apologize as I thought at least holidays were standard throughout the country.
Columbus Day is not a holiday on the West Coast. Just another regular working day here. Paid straight time. the Feds and the State recognize it as a holiday. I think, for UPS, it's just an East Coast thing.
