It’s actually an 8.2 hour target, routes are going out with less than 8 hour days. We have a 8:50 start so 9.5 is 7:20, problem is that my building is a parking lot by 6:30. Buddy of mine said it best....”everyone sounds tough week 1 & 2 but come week 4, 5, and 6 of only taking home $1100 when you’ve been routinely taking home $1600 a week that’s when the real concern sets in”.
So you are hiring again. At least no more layoffs? Wish we had enough cars to work 8.2 hours.
In my 23 years I’ve never seen this number of new hires. I’ve asked the union reps if these guys will all become 22.4’s when the contract is ratified but no one could say with certainty.
Do you have Saturday ground delivery?
Only 25% can be 22.4
I doubt they hired 25% more drivers already.
I'm enjoying the easy days
I’m jealous. I will never see a PLANNED 8 .2 hour day
Na, just go home and get that 2 hour bonus.
It won't last forever
The plan of UPS is to hire as many as possible for the Christmas rush. Those probably add to our numbers so that the 25% of 22.4 is coming from a bigger pool. After Christmas they all get released and part timers move in to 22.4 roles.
I think the 9.5 list starts in January. The 18 months is to get current drivers from working Saturday.
No helper? I’ll have to work this peak!!!
Yes.....we’ve had that for over a year.
That's only if they want the go over 25% on the 22.4
