I wish UPS Teamsters had paid sick days.
I guess that would be fine. I really don’t get sick that often. I do, however have seven weeks of vacation, two personal days and a large number of paid holidays. Ask around to people you know and see how that stacks up?
You probably need new material. Yes, every workplace was a sweatshop back in the 80s/90s/2000s... But now days and for some time, businesses agree to close on holidays, minimum wages for areas often compete with UPS, and TONS of people are (barely) working from home while making bank.
I don’t need new material. I have an actual contract.
Gotta love it as a cover driver...
Outside of a government job, if you mention to people you know how many weeks you get they flip out even if they’ve been at the job as long as you have
. No job is perfect and I’m always up for a better contract, but pretending we don’t have anything is ridiculous.
710 tops out at 8 weeks, 4 optional holidays, and the same paid holidays y'all get.
You need some new material Mr. sweat shop.
Some do
I get 5 paid sick days a year. I didn't realize there were locals that didn't. That seems kind of
ty.
We call them option weeks. You can break them apart. Sounds good in theory, but it doesn’t work very well.I get 5 paid sick days a year. I didn't realize there were locals that didn't. That seems kind of
I mean, it honestly does work well if you ask me. It's not the greatest system, but it's better than nothing. I'd rather have that 3rd week broken into 5 days to take at-will rather than have a 3rd week of vacation. I'll get another week soon enough to take in addition to that option week. It also makes me feel really good when I walk in and see that my route is cut and they think they're going to put me on the worst route possible where they refuse to let me bump off onto another route. In those cases, I wait until 2 minutes before start time with a steward present and option 3 outta there. Peace!
Well, what I mean was it doesn’t work the way they made it sound. You can put in for it, but they can deny it for any reason kind of defeats the purpose.
You don't put in for it... Just call out and option 3. If they say the classic "but we're short staffed and need you!" line then tough luck. They'll figure it out.
Yep that’s pretty much how it works now although it’s not the way it was supposed to lol
It's in the employees' benefit so let's let it slide lol
