[QUOTE="UnPreparedSupervision, post: 2392276, member: 64065"] Do I want to work? Yes on my route. I do not mind it being cut on Monday as I get enough OT the other 4 days I basically would be working for pennies on the dollar anyway. I think we are in the Atlantic Region or North East they call it now. We have a lot of terrible drivers both cover and bidded routes. I have been with UPS almost 23 years and have learned 30-40 routes in the blind. Management doesn't make all drivers go in the blind just ones they know can get through it. Basically they ignore all seniority and dispatch according to driver. Some drivers never work 8 hours others 10-11 hours and it's always same drivers..they dispatch the ones they know will grossly cut corners to get the job done lighter. Also if my sup is late man he gives the slower drivers off so he can get off early. When drivers put in 8 hour days they don't give them 8 hour days in hopes the driver will just go home. So let's get to the reason for the post. Today one of our worst drivers with worst attendance had an 8 hour. Well he put it in, in hopes he could go home. He comes in and just starts crying it's too much for an 8 hour and just wants off. So my sup tells me I may need to run his route (mind you I have 12 years seniority on this waste of air) and we have 5 other cover drivers all below me in seniority not assigned to a route and when I say put one of the junior cover drivers on it he says they don't know it.
