Are they asking from the top and forcing from the bottom for this RPCD Saturday work?Well it's the end of my first week as an RPCD and oooooohh would ya look at that. I don't have enough hours to work tomorrow. What a shame. What am I gonna do with myself?
They are. They're forcing pretty far up the list because we have so many drivers out right now.Are they asking from the top and forcing from the bottom for this RPCD Saturday work?
It’s amazing they can’t figure out why all of these guys are hurt or taking FMLAMore like Monday-Saturday with how many drivers we have out right now.
Your building too, huh?It’s amazing they can’t figure out why all of these guys are hurt or taking FMLA
Gotta have a strong core to last at this job or your upper body does too much work. I learned that the hard way. But only a few of us actually have the time to work out before or after work. People have kids, most drivers I talk to just want to spend as much time with their family as possible on downtime. It’s amazing, with this job you truly learn the value of time and how much 1 hour can meanIt’s amazing they can’t figure out why all of these guys are hurt or taking FMLA
I’ve spent almost 20 years in multiple buildings. Unless you have 20 drivers there’s gonna be a guy or 2 out for FMLA or disability virtually all of the time. It’s simply something they have to staff for.Your building too, huh?

224 Mafia approves this post....I'm on it because it's a big dog route they didn't expect to be vacant by the driver bidding out of center and they needed someone they can trust to handle it every day....But yes, I will appreciate it while it lasts. Not taking it for granted. Hoping I'm rpcd by next bid and still nobody wants it again.
Waaaay more employees in the company now, than back in those days. More demand also. I’m also assuming you guys probably spent a lot more time driving rather than moving boxes considering you didn’t have maps telling you where to go.Why is that ?
When we had all the high-step, non power steering trucks.... there never seemed to be that many injuries.
Yeah man let’s see. More boxes, bigger boxes, heavier boxes, more stops, more hours, later start time means later nights, 6 day work weeks. Guys delivering out of rentals year round because we won’t buy trucks. Guy being harassed over single call ins because we are under staffed. This leads to more people working while fatigued or not 100%.Waaaay more employees in the company now, than back in those days. More demand also. I’m also assuming you guys probably spent a lot more time driving rather than moving boxes considering you didn’t have maps telling you where to go. Also assuming that production standards are much more strenuous now since the company went public. Also, let’s be honest, people don’t take very good care of themselves in 2021, that includes drivers. The whole industrial athlete thing isn’t really a joke, you gotta invest in yourself physically to last here
But that’s all hard to see from the buffet line.
Hates UPSers- loves their money.What's not hard to see from the buffet line is only 22% participated in the strike authorization vote.
And then, only 45% participated in the vote on their own contract.
But don't worry.... OZ is going to fix everything.
And, the members won't have to go hide in the corner. Hell.... they won't even have to vote.

Yes- the union has a great track record with freight.Some freight controlled Locals might think that way.
To them.... UPS is easy pickings.

Yes- whatever Big UPS Man says is gospel.I'm sure you have something to say about it.
So.... make your bed with an opinion, and then I'll tuck you in with the truth.
If "tucking a male in" is your type of thing, please keep it to yourself and your male friends. Nothing wrong with it but I prefer women.I'm sure you have something to say about it.
