In a blow to Sean O'Brien, angry BLET - Teamsters voted-out Dennis Pierce as President!!!

It's in the employees' benefit so let's let it slide lol

Oh I do lol

I wish UPS Teamsters had paid sick days.

You have an option week instead of sick days, essentially giving you an extra vacation week. What you really need is for them to make it so you can break them up into individual days then you'll be set.

 

[zubenelgenubi]

Currently sitting on over a month's worth of sick bank, plus 4 option days, plus 5 weeks of vacation.

 

[UnionStrong]

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.

Never gave a flying fig if they were short staffed or not. I’m not coming in.

They are broken into individual days if you choose the correct option.

I never had that option in the central.

We have it now, I’m not certain it’s everywhere. The language around it is very Watered down,

I believe it's for full time employees only. Otherwise the only option is whether you want to work it or not.

We get one option week and can break up two weeks if we should choose, we have to designate when we pick.

 

[542thruNthru]

We get 7 sick days, 1 option week, 4 floating holidays and vacation.

 

[FozziesDeliveries]

No sick days in central region, traded for an option week. You cannot break up your option week until you get your 3rd vacation week at 8 years.

 

[burrheadd]

We call them option weeks. You can break them apart. Sounds good in theory, but it doesn’t work very well.

Like most things ups has bastardized the option days and weeks

This useless piece of language is probably what the central "union officials" traded your sick time for. And they're really proud of it.

That Language has been in there as long as I can remember, and I don’t ever recall having sick time.

We get 5 sick. 5 personal. And a bonus optional week after 15 years company seniority.

Yes, I think different parts of the country get the week’s broken up differently, due to separate agreements, but it usually ends up being the same amount of days total

Typically. But regardless management will try and do as they please with your days off on call ins. They tried to burn an optional day for me when I called out one day. That was not a good day for them when I walked in the next morning.

Yeah, most definitely try to water it down and bastardize it.
