[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5621762, member: 70932"] Maybe. But the Company will never agree to not force anyone to work over 9.5. And the Union cannot force the company to do it. The only thing the Union can do, and UPS reluctantly agreed to, is to make a penalty for it to "compensate" the driver. The Union is trying to make it cost prohibitive to UPS to force drivers past 9.5 except for unforeseen circumstances. Not every job is 9-5. It might suck getting home at 8 or 9 at night, but that is the job. We cannot force UPS to start us earlier. If you wanted to make your kids baseball games after school, you picked the wrong job. You start at 9:30 because UPS cannot get the trailers there and unloaded and processed sooner, for one reason or another. It would be nice to start at 8 and be home by 6 or 7, but that is pretty much dreaming. Same here. It reduced the over 9.5 immensely. I don't think it will ever go away, but at $160/hr, I'll put up with it a little bit. Money is not everything, but I think it will continue to get better if the new language goes into effect.
