Monday through Friday drivers forced T-S

[TheBrownBandit]

Back in August 10 of us were forced into a T-S schedule. We are M-friend RPCDs. In the contract it states that they have 18 months after contract ratification to have everyone moved back to a M-friend schedule. That date was October 15th. We are still being forced T-S and have filed one big grievance but nothing is being done about it and at the local level the outcome was deadlocked.

How can UPS break the contract like this week after week and get away with it?

To answer your question- because the union allows them to. Just be lucky you’re not on a Monday thru Saturday schedule

If the local won't deal with it go over their heads. Contract seems pretty clear on that issue.

Would this be a NLRB issue?

Yea idk what you’re complaining about when you’re getting your normal 5 days a week. Some of us were stuck with 6 days. And some of them are still in 6 days.

 

[TheBrownBandit]

That is besides the point. Id rather take voluntary layoff on a Monday, and only work T-friend.

Our center is FAR from being forced M-S (yet that is a breach of contract as well). On an average day we have 5 people take voluntary layoffs each day. Peak currently we are at 8 hours a day.

Show up on Mondays for work and don’t show up Saturday?

Not scheduled on Mondays and scheduled on Saturdays. So it will be a call in and then get told to go home Monday because I'm not scheduled

But the contract says you are Monday thru Friday

Just be lucky you have a job.

You know, for being Union "brothers" and "sisters" you guys really don't give a that the company is ing over someone other than yourself

File a grievance on this every day. No matter the outcome, don’t care if its deadlocked; they would be drowning in grievances from me and I would be pressuring all 9 other drivers to do the same thing. This company is such dog s+*^ man. Go above the Union. This shouldn’t be an issue it is very clearly stated in the contract. Like why do we even go through this whole show with the Teamsters if they can’t even take a stance on things that have clear language. Rant over. Beer in hand. Good night boys.

Really this should be as simple as BA calls labor. Nope these are M-friend RPCD. The end.

Sounds like the grievance process is not through. It will go to panels and arbitration.

Things don't always get resolved in a matter of weeks.

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Start showing up on Mondays and demanding work.
Don't show up on Saturday.

File a grievance daily until this is resolved.

Get in touch with the NLRB.

Bury them in grievances and paperwork.

What good are grievances gonna do? His local has been letting them do this for 5 months. Lol

The NLRB won't even look at it.... until the grievance procedure is completed.

 

[Up In Smoke]

Change in operational needs has been argued against our grievances when schedules are altered. The company is supposed to give labor advance warning when this occurs, but peak sneaks up every year. I don't believe we have ever won a grievance on this matter.

Then why even put it in the contract? Or better yet why bother with 22.4?

The contract is pretty clear on this matter.
