Wait you mean christmas has a set date?

Maybe it doesn't. That's why they're caught off guard every year. I owe someone an apology.

My center just hired like 5 seasonal drivers. That pretty much just replaces the retirements and guys out on disability. Plus maybe 1. Fun times here.

So you guys have anything in your contract that forces UPS to hire RPCDs or to maintain a certain number?

That’s the real killer. At least you know peak season starts November 25th and ends January 1st. This is showing no signs of slowing. Once the companies who made everyone work from home realize how much money they’ll save on ditching office space all those bulk stops we used to deliver will get broken up and sent to everyone’s homes. Plus all the small business that’s going away. We’re screwed.

That's why we have the post office

Keep filing, it’s not THE solution but it helps, they haven’t been worried about me making 9.5 for months...3 grievances later and a 22.4 appeared out of thin air last night to take my last 40 stops and get me back in

Thank you. At least someone is getting their attention. There is no better way than what you just suggested.

Down about 15 drivers for months. Most guys pushing 70 every week. Finally added a driver this week. Unfortunately lost 3 to injury.

Then they give you attitude when you say no.

If we had 22.4 they’d have to maintain but we don’t have 22.4

This company has no idea how to operate in a business world where they are expanding at a good pace.

This has been a decade or more in the making and yet they only continue to do the bare minimum that they think will work to get by.

when the ups machine gets a little rust hole in it they slap some quick bondo over it and call it good. What it needs is new panels properly welded in place.

. Dude, they have been at it making a profit for over 100 years.

I was asked on Friday. My answer is always no. The feeder guys in my building will all work a week or 2 or 3 and many of the package guys will too. Union is on board with it. They are calling it 'covid 19 banking.'

Our local is not allowing any of that ish

They figured the game out a little late, went from 1 22.4 to 10 in a few months. If you hire 1 you need to hire the max limit pretty soon after to pillage the most amount of money away to shareholders.

They asked us a few weeks ago if anyone was interested in that. Said they are doing something special for us, allowing us to sell back our vacations weeks to work them. I just laughed and said no thanks, don't know of anyone who took them up on the offer. Sure some did though.
