Here we go again. Forced Six Punches and working as helper after 60Hrs.

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

So your helper delivers CODs, hazmat, alcohol, makes pick ups? Does your helper use their board on their own or do you input everything in it yourself?

CODs have to go in to the driver's board so if need be we just swap boards for that stop.

Hazmats and alcohol would not be a problem.

The helper uses his board on his own.

It's that time of year again when the Union disappears and management gets to run wild. Those who have Saturday ground operations will know what I am talking about. I don't need any snarky remarks, save them please. I have a few simple questions.

1) Where in the contract does it state that we are forced to work 6 punches if we do not want the OT

2) Where in the contract does it state that after working 60 hours we are required to report to work as a helper?

The 60 Hours and then becoming a helper thing is absolute BS, I can see where the forced sixth punch can be debatable, but neither of these stipulations are in any section or article of our contract, yet we were forced 6 punches and over 60 hours last year, and have been told it will be the same this year.

So asking for some advice.

Why don't you pull out that contract that was negotiated from this so called ghost union and learn something. You make up the union and every member who doesn't know his/her rights is a weak link in the chain. So educate yourself weak link and maybe maangement will take you seriously one day.

Because he is trained to do so by whom?

what does your driver helper "board" look like?

 

[3 done 3 to go]

I haven't had a helper board in 5 yrs. So glad.

 

[bumped]

I don't think my helper can read let alone use the Diad.

My DIAD training told me that the helpers are suppose to work independently. I care less and less every year.

On Wednesday my center manager said we will do whatever it takes for covers not to have a six day punch, worked on Saturday, 55 hours for the week. Worked yesterday. Only one day off.

They came out with these driver helper “phones“ in our center , and probably other centers. If my helper drops it in a foot of snow that is not my problem , I must continue delivering lol.

Drivers as jumpers, is perhaps the least productive solution to a problem I have heard on here.

My guess is they would take some utility or seasonal driver who doesn't know the route at all and have him drive. The driver is just there to basically give directions on where to go and how to runt he route?

jumper boards look like cell phones...

We are using the phones for on car helpers.

My helper never touches a board. He's a runner and that is all.

They are called helper teams for a reason.

I wonder if I could download this, upload it to the Walgreens photo studio, have it framed and hung on my glory wall?
