[QUOTE="wornoutupser, post: 132377, member: 2196"] Our building has drivers out till 9-10-11 every night and our manager is not allowed to put in enough runs to handle the volume. I have filed greivances for over 9 1/2 and now the company is paying out the nose on them. They will not reduce the dispatch. Last night 3 drivers called each other after the center could not arrange meet points and get everyone in before 9-10 PM. We managed to stall off the meet times, allowing drivers to finish the far out areas and save UPS massive driving time. Again, the drivers save money for the company-yet there was attitude when we started showing up earlier than we had reported in for. I was told (by my manager) that Christmas this year will be worse than usual. UPS will not be putting in enough extra runs to handle the volume here or enough extra vehicles. Again, we have a "do as you are told or else" center. My opinion is that we have a division /district manager problem. This building seems to be in "punishment mode" for a host of problems that were never correctly addressed in the past.The result is a driver workforce that is outstanding for the most part, yet furious against the company for everything that is pulled on us here. Did anyone else have to do the pre test for the Ketter audit? We did. We were told by the division manager that if you did not pass it you would be taken of road. Period. How much review was done in the past year? Very little, yet drivers were threatened with their jobs again by Big Brown. I would like to see the IBT's position on that one! [/QUOTE]
