I think as time goes on and more drivers are hired it will continue to spread till every building has implemented it.
When I first read this over two months ago we too were still going out for 10-12 hours a day. Then what appeared to be at a snap of a finger.....we too were at 8.
Our building is a brown parking lot at 6:30 now.....generally less than five drivers still out.
January 15th will be the real day I’m focused on.....lots of new drivers who will all be looking for routes. Those stops will come from somewhere
just chillin'
Rest in peace wooba
what if my means actually just cost more than your means???? housing cost, car insurance, property taxes....we all not just a bunch of idiots with new pickups and boats and crap

you have mentioned this more than once now. id like to ask you if you think they should pay us more? or pay them less? cause paying them less doesn't really help us out my brother. it will just shut up the few "live within your means" jokers who probly live next to there mayor in there 150 thousand dollar mansion with there 500 dollar a year property taxes

housing cost, property tax....those sound like wants and not needs, if they can't afford them, it sounds like not living within their means. A small apartment....cheap car....etc..

Worked a 10.2 day yesterday.
22.4 drivers cant come fast enough.
Of course, they may not come at all.
It'll be a hard sell to anyone with an IQ above room temperature.

I don’t base my lifestyle off of overtime. Hasn’t anyone learned anything from the 08 crash?

Do you even know what IQ means or do you like calling people stupid using terms that are unfamiliar to you.
Hey bud.i guess the real point of the post is to point out how much money ups makes. We should all be able to benefit from it. Whether it’s more hours if you need it or getting more per hour. And what I do with my personal time is none of your business. I have two kids in college. I’d work as many hours as I have too to give them a chance at the best life possible. And I’m still wondering why I have to stfu?

There are ways of lowering the costs of your means.

My feelings on this subject actually really changed back when I first read how the under funded pensions were looking at ways to be combined to the healthy ones.
I was astonished at how some felt that the healthy pensions should be responsible for their pensions mismanagement. It’s a bit ironic I admit though.
I have seniority to work the AM shift but I see a lot of concerned faces in my center. It’s arrogant and disingenuous for some to assume that these drivers financial concerns are due to not living within their means.
Reading that and knowing these employees personally is all the motivation I need to continue the echo of ending the national pay scale. I agree with you that the answer isn’t to remove pay but most certainly slow the pace of their raises. We worked contracts in the pass where little to no raises were given.

The problem I see is guys whining about too much work and filing 9.5 grievances; now that the company is trying to fix the issue, now guys are crying about not enough money.
Lol we all get YOU and some new people are upset about the decline in OT. But 99.5 % of people here in NY love it. Let’s not forget. We here on the East coat voted this contract down and 804 crushed the NO vote. You West coat guys voted YES. Enjoy the new contract.

Wrong....I’m in NorCal and we voted everything down. Down around L.A. is what you’re referencing.
Realize though that their unions are already week and they’ve already had swing drivers for years. Swing drivers essentially are what 22.4’s are so to them it’s just business as usual.
You need to understand that the real shame is that our new drivers start at $18.70 and if you think 40 hours of only $37 is a strain then think of that.
I’ve stated before on here that fast food restaurants in my area offer more to start. This is the real issue, staffing concerns.
Not saying you won’t get applicants but you really need to question the quality of said applicant. California is the 5th largest economy in the world and number one in the country and if you don’t think that negative financial issues out here won’t be felt in the rest of UPS, then you’ve got another thing coming.

I keep seeing this argument, too. It ignores the fact that you are talking about different groups of people. There are people who want as much overtime as they can get. There are people who like some OT, but not maxed-out-hours-every-week OT. Then there are those who want just 8 hrs/day. When you come up with one-size-fits-all solutions, there will always be someone unhappy. In this case the unhappiness is shifting from one group to another, it's not that we can't make up our minds.

Hello there, 22.4 driver.
You have a bit of drool coming out the side of your mouth.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I've been under 9.5 but nothing like what some of these guys are talking about. 9.3-9.4 most days.
