If they call us in early, or if we decide to sheet everything as ECD and bring it in, we are still guaranteed our 8 hours pay, correct? There's no act of god clause or anything like they have with the air guarantee? Just making sure, If not I'm booking off. Not going through the hassle for 3 hours pay.
In a side point, 2+ feet of snow, maybe closer to 3. No visibility, everyone's shutting down anyway. Tell me, what is the point of having us out? Clearly with so many businesses closed and the obvious ECD packages there will be, would it not be cheaper to give us the day off rather then paying a bunch of guys to drive around, getting little accomplished?

If they call you before your shift starts you will get paid only if you choose to use a personal/sick day.
If you come to work and are then sent home you are supposed to get your 8 hour guarantee but they will try to pay you for hours worked.

There are no flakes on the ground yet, so UPS has the right to try and get off as much work as possible. I expect a message by noon, much like when Hurricane Sandy hit. I expect no pickups because I can not see how you can force part timers into the hub in the weather we will experience later.
Stay safe !!

Not here. My route is one of the farthest from the building. It was suggested that I head to the hills first before the bad stuff hits at noon. I punched out around 9 last night. One can only guess what time I'll punch out tonight. Maybe we can start a pool!

One of the few good perks of snow storms is that the roads stay fairly empty. Here we go again... good times. 3 stops/hour

Well, the canadian brokerage centre will be open as always. They never close for weather, literally. 6 days a week, 24 hrs a day. I have driven in blizzards, almost run off the roads etc. The city transportation shuts down, the stores & malls close, the police warn everyone to stay indoors, but good old UPS is still working hard to charge their customers brokerage fees

Drove in blizzard conditions the week before Christmas. Called and asked management how long they wanted me to stay out. Was told to keep plugging away and ended up doing about two stops an hour.

So it's 215pm
Got all my business done and all my pickups are done
Why am I out here ? Sliding at every stop. Customers looking at me like I'm crazy. Because the governor didn't shut down the highways yet, UPS feels I can still deliver on all the side roads.
They will being in their trucks at the last minute and give a flying frank how their cherished drivers get back to their loved ones.
ATLANTA. YOU'RE SAFETY IDEALS ARE BS !!!!

Everybody except public utility and health care workers as well as delivery trucks and news media.
Doesn't say that in the article I just read. Did you really see it somewhere?
