This is done to keep the PVD's coming back.
The same happens with the coyote feeder contractors.
If they aren't guaranteed work they won't come back.
The company can't/won't allow the pimped help to leave in the middle of peak.
Do I like it? NO.
Wish I could help.

I noticed quite a few drivers who bitched about PVDs also were the same ones who came in an hour before their start times to massage their loads off the clock.
When given the choice to work until 6pm without my PVD driver or 1030pm on my own I always chose the former.

The Union several years ago put a stop to drivers coming in early to load their package cars off the clock. Taking work away from the PT preload. Had to threaten some with disciplinary action if they didn't stop.

Not in my old center. Spent the last couple years in porters and would notice the same guys coming in early everyday. Tried to talk some sense into them and even threatened to file for the "extra" work involved but ultimately didn't want to work that hard.

In my experience, it’s the guys that depend on OT that are freaking out about PVDs right now. Get your money straight, and this becomes a two month long necessary evil.

Someone should put in a grievance. Watch how fast management stops that.

Take advantage of an easy Monday then.
This is why UPS makes business decisions irregardless of employees feelings. Too much, too little..can’t please anyone. May as well do what makes most sense when it makes most sense.
Enjoy your easy Monday!

What is considered a Porter position?

A position created for old guys who don't want to drive anymore that have to clean up after all you disgusting pigs.
And to make sure you have toilet paper and soap in the crappers.

paying the grievances is far cheaper than paying thousands of service failures

Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
Ups dont care about that anymore, it is why they use pvd's in the first place

Are they demanding their guaranteed 8 hours or are they going home because they only want to do their work and nothing else?

I doubt that will happen. I believe at the most language will be put into the contract about when and how they can be used.
