How often do you have an inhumane dispatch?

[Dracula]

in·hu·mane

adjective

1. Without compassion, for misery or suffering; cruel.
   

Nah. You just equate dispatch with your performance. Do it with a smile.

9 is late. I was home by 6 every day last week, punched out quarter after 5 one day. 10 or 11 is just really late.

Hardly. 6:30 is typical around here. Several long-timers back at 5:30 every day.

Too bad frigid sup isn't ur boss. He fixes everything

Never claimed I fix everything. But I'm not the first ORS in my building everyday because I like the decor. I do what I can to minimize the craziness for my group.

The hours you work, Your planned work doesn't matter.

It should.

 

[PASinterference]

It should.

Yeah.....so everybody will have a 9.49 cap on their planned day.

Yeah.....so everybody will have a 9.49 cap on their planned day.

The time allowance already gets pretty terrible over 8.5-9 hours.

 

[Dr.Brownz]

Yup clocked out about 8:45pm which is unheard of in our center. Even the milking the hours drivers are done by 7pm.

 

[dookie stain]

My center sucks...they just pay 9.5 grievances and screw everyone.

If dispatch is computerized isn't it by definition inhumane?

No. By that definition its inhuman, not inhumane.

V day was rough. Told my supe he was going to have to call my lady and explain to her why I had to work 13 hours.

Your lady and her back door man appreciated the call, too.

Our dispatch guy is trying to get his promotion. When he cuts routes he just doesn't care how that works out. Jam it together any way it fits, leave me no room to take lunch break and stay on trace. He had one of my pickups later than normal so I could run a loop and be back there at 1830, an hour and a half after they close. Btw, I always take lunch during the day and break off to get pickups on time if I can't get it in trace. Cut days blow up my route every time.

Quick question guys. With the 9.5 wording, is it 9.5 hous of planned work, or if you work 9,5 hours . My coworkers are telling me it's the latter. My steward is telling me is planned work.

You need a new/different steward.
Maybe he/she should try attending some of the steward seminars offered them by your union.
Union doesn't recognize UPS's numbers. It has always been hours actually worked.

I see some guys leaving the building between 4:30-5pm at my hub. Only about 5 guys typically though. Then from 5:30-6:30 the majority is leaving. And of course about 10 guys out between 7-8pm depending on volume and what day of the week.
