I'm a corporate big wig. Ask me anything.

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Why did I work 56hrs last week and some IE fool sits in a office decides how many routes you can have sitting in Atlanta looking at mystical numbers. It’s a no vote for me because of 9/5 and UPS doesn’t care if we have a life with our family.

9.5 wouldn't be as big of an issue if we could get out of the building early.

Vote yes.

But management is so dumb. I run a satellite route. Start at 10am spend a 1hr or longer loading my truck. Start delivering after 11am.Load about 150 to 200 pkgs but handle them twice which makes it handling 300 to 400 pkgs a day. Have 90 to 100 plus stops a day which means a 10 to 12hr day since I put 10 to 11 stops off an hour on a rural route.

Read Jim Casey’s story again. You miss a lot on how to run this company.

Can you get on the 9.5 list?

 

[Appvol]

Oh I am. Have about 30hrs in 9/5 grievances and 12hrs on 8hr request.

Hope you win Brother

They usually always just pay the grievances at my center when they have local hearings. Last year the center paid out close to $40,000 at one hearing.

Ya it takes about a year or more if they deadlock the whole thing at the panels. What a joke

They wouldn’t pay $40000 here if I lost a limb or 2

Why are you all such dicks and how do you expect this company to survive with all the incompetent management from top to bottom

The only thing I forecast to hurt this company is driver's making over $40 for unskilled labor. The technology and training tells you exactly what to do. Anybody off the street could do the job.

If you are unhappy with your current working conditions I'm sure you will find gainful employment elsewhere. I bet your resume is top notch. Make sure to mention you need over 70k a year in the interview.

Are you freaking serious? I would love for us to go in strike for two days and watch you idiots try to do our job. We need article 22.4 management because you guys are cinpcomple worthless, dead weight. We would be better off having an extra route in and one less supervisor.

You don't leave a union job you've worked your way up to attain when you're unhappy with working conditions. You ask your union leaders to effect change during contract negotiations.

That said, most of the issues UPSers have with the tentative agreement are not related to hourly rate of pay. If you could, please tell me which of these following reasons to vote no in the Tentative Agreement that UPSers should be OK with:

But what YOU don’t GET is that YOU can’t do what I do. Your resume don’t mean crap because I’m the reason there is a UPS.Mythical numbers on a piece of paper cost UPS a lot of money.

Vote yes.

How much less do you think UPS could pay employees and still retain high customer/satisfaction and low employee turnover?
