LOCAL 391 is GARBAGE

[MenInBrown]

So we were just told that we are now only getting two 8hr request per month. Not that we get them, but we can only request 2 whether we get them or not. Doug Irving threw almost all of the 8hr grievances out? What a ing joke. We went months with no one getting 8hr days and thanks to the teamsters we never will again. So this doug guy is telling us that we don’t GET 2 a month but we only get to request 2 a month. local 391.

No our contract states if we are not given our 8hr request it is retained by driver for later use. This is the language in contract.

This is the first time this excuse has ever been used to aid UPS with grievances. What’s ironic is they just paid all these back in April but now the union is saying the opposite of what the contract states.

So your local is saying that if the 8 hour request is denied and not approved you only get two requests?

The local is trying to say now that we get 2 “request” per month. The contract says if they do not honor them that we retain them. So instead of paying 6 grievances per driver, teamsters paid us 2 and threw the rest out. This wasn’t the case back in April but now in September I guess the BA decided to change the contract?

UPS will always do/get what it wants. Period.

All the stewards I know in 391 work together with management to figure out how to fire drivers.

Your posts are confusing to me.

The Atlantic supplement does not address 8-hour requests, and you correctly state you are covered under the National.


"In addition, if an employee’s request is granted but the Employer fails to adjust the driver’s dispatch so as to provide an amount of work that can reasonably be completed within eight (8) hours which then causes the driver to work in excess of eight and one- half (8.5) hours to complete his/her route, the driver shall be entitled to a two (2) hour penalty payment at his/her straight time rate and the driver will retain the eight (8) hour request for later use. No penalty shall be due if the employee exceeds the eight and one- half (8.5) hour threshold as a result of events beyond the Employer’s control."

Were you personally affected by this and filed a grievance ?

Did you attend the Local hearing to personally witness this ? Or, is it what you heard happened.

How many drivers had their grievances denied ?


Being that your Local is in a right to work state.... how many of the affected "members" pay dues ?
