[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 794995"] NONE (at least the ones I talked to) of the drivers were told about the code 5. center manager claimed he talked to drivers but I would have known if I was. I have no family out here so why would I want off early? It wouldn't make sense for me. At the end of the shift, I paged in, as requested (both days) and was told it was ok to come back to the center. Well, to me, that means the center doesn't have the 8 hours to give me which is why I was under dispatched. It's the first time (that I'm aware of) that they've done this to our center which made all the drivers go 'wtf?!'. If the intentions were known and I was given a choice, I wouldn't be upset. Not given a choice and having it automatically assumed it what has me upset. I'm going to talk to the air drivers, see if they got their promised 4 hours. I know if you took an option day (ours had maxed staff yesterday) you got 8 hours pay. Isn't the point of a union to keep everything equal? If you start ignoring the contract, at convenient times, for the employee it's only a matter of time before UPS takes the liberty of ignoring it for us and saying, 'oh, well the precedent was set on Christmas Eve' and the union won't have any leg to stand on.
