.You get a three day weekend and then have a five day work week. Wow that sucks.
My understanding of that language was for a set schedule, I do not think they can abuse you and move you from M-friend to T-S and back to M-friend again.
2. How's your sick time? Maybe you 3 should bang in on the Saturday.
I guess that`s why my handle is DorkHead!!!
It looks like our Saturdays are officially fair game.
One of the benefits of the job is the five day work week. Monday through Friday, we give our days and most of our evenings to UPS, but the weekends have always belonged to us.
Until today.
I was informed this morning that for the week ending February 13, aka valentines Saturday, myself and the 3 other bottom seniority drivers in our center will be working a Tues through Saturday week, so that we may cover the valentines flower rush on Saturday without being paid overtime for going over 40 hours.
This is a new low, as now it seems UPS can intrude on our weekends as well as our evenings.
I have been a driver for nearly 15 years, part-time and full-time. Using full-time drivers to help out on a Saturday is nothing new. But the full-timers have always signed up by seniority, and with the exception of a Christmas Eve Saturday, I have never seen a full-timer forced to work a Saturday.
I find it hard to believe that this is contractual, but according to both my center management and our alternate union steward, this appears to be contractual.
We’ve lost the ability to make Saturday plans without concern over UPS deciding we need to give that time to them.
OH how I wish I had a dollar for eveytime I have heard that phrase. Specially when the truth of the matter is Sups cry as loud and as often as hourlys do.Oh please.. If it is so bad then quit. I am sure it won't be hard to fill your shoes. Instead of crying you should be thanking UPS for giving you a job.

AND, the reason they say that line is because they can't think of an actual reply that makes sense. ATTA BOY...keep up the good work. LOL

do you need help in posting your views on the above? if so let me know. it serves no purpose to quote a whole segment, then not put your view on the thread.

1. I would ask higher seniority drivers who want the OT to grieve this. I do believe the contract allows drivers hired after a certain date to be forced to a Tues thru Sat schedule, but I don't believe this was intended to be used for a one-time random holiday.
2. How's your sick time? Maybe you 3 should bang in on the Saturday.
Over my friend I'm dissapointed with your answer.
OK, maybe with the sick time part...
But don't you agree that this should be grieved? That language was put there so Tues thru Sat jobs could be made. Now it seems to be being perverted to force people to work a Saturday at someones whim, and the next week back to Mon thru Fri.
Grieve it, and we'll all have an answer we'll have to live with.
We are only asking for one.
