[QUOTE="noril, post: 5588287, member: 105754"] I don't think one should be so pessimistic in the middle of contract negotiations. Instead, and, I believe I have been mistakenly accused at times of being a "company man" for my approach, we should make the case for why reducing overtime is good for the company in addition to the workers who don't want the overtime. The best argument in my mind is the cost of paying overworked people who got injured for therapy and to sit at home hoping to recover rather than be on the road picking up and delivering packages. If the company sees that 40 hour weeks are a good business decision that saves money, that should be very persuasive. I recognize driving for UPS can't be a 9 to guaranteed out the door at 5 job, and I accept there will be spikes in volume where people have to put in overtime, but I firmly believe there can be far better work-life balance protections for full timers than what exists now with the current 9.5 protections.
