100 plus routes. According to the early estimates they are looking to run around 25 on Saturdays. Looks like they will be forcing from the bottom up. BA is meeting with the company tomorrow to feel each other out.

So if they run 25 routes on Saturday, is it safe to assume they will cut 25 routes on Monday?

Early rumours are that they will be cutting more than that on Mondays. Have heard that most of our satellites will also be cut on Mondays. Hoping that if the cuts are deep enough I can get away with four day weeks for the rest of my time at UPS.

I wish you luck with a 4 day work week. Some of the younger drivers may not appreciate it much.

He is on a satellite route. Very few cover drivers like to cover satellite routes so if his route is cut on Monday he should have no problem working just 4 days per week.

I would agree but some of the younger drivers with a mortgage and car payments and a family may have trouble making ends meet working 4 days a week.

Anyone know of guys quitting yet who were forced into a Tues-Thurs schedule? I'm only 2nd year into progression making 19.50 an hour and will be looking to quit if forced.
This sucks not only for family reasons but what about when holidays fall on Mon or are always on Monday like labor day? In a Mon thru Frid schedule you get an extra day off. I guess the Tues thru Sat people are just screwed with a normal 2 days off. friend that.

If it means that much to you not to work on a Saturday, then go ahead and quit. I am sure there will a line waiting to take the job. I have been working Saturdays for most of 45 years (longer if you count cutting grass and taking care of the garden) so I don't feel sorry for you. You could just suck it up and work until you have enough seniority to bid off a Saturday route

By the time I would have enough senority to bid off Saturday my kids won't be small so it won't matter anyway. By that point I won't give a
if we work Sundays.

DOT regulations don't mean
. North Dakota has 60hr max limit. During 16' peak we were forced every Saturday and the week of Christmas UPS contacted the DOT and got an "operating emergency" extension and extended our Weekly DOT hour workweek to 70 hrs. Needless to say about 95% of drivers worked 69.5 hrs. Total bull. When January the daily average call out list was 7 drivers a day for a 45 driver center

You would be paid for the holiday in addition to your 5 days.

We were all subject to the 70 hour limit; thankfully it never became an issue in my center, although we did work every Saturday between BF and CE.

Is your Center still going to roll out Saturday Ground deliveries as scheduled?

What local?
Did the union deny it, or did the company deny it because of your area?

You're 100% correct. I mentioned it to another driver maybe a year ago. Whenever the talk first started on here. He looked at me like I was crazy. Said it would never happen
