Saturday Ground Update

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

If you have enough seniority to stay M-friend, can you work Saturday if you'd like? Bump junior guys.

In addition to your 5? Nope.

They are supposed to implement Saturday deliveries in one of the buildings in my old district next week, then slowly add buildings every 2 weeks or so.

will the saturday drivers be loading their own cars?

No. Saturday pre loaders do that. And half the load for Monday.

Are the Saturday preloaders loading all of the package cars or just the ones delivering Saturday ground? How can they load half of Mondays volume?

Is work schedule company seniority or center seniority? It should be center.

I disagree. I believe it should be bldg wide seniority, rather than Center seniority.
If you were to be laid off, you could bump into another center in your bldg, so any type of "ask; then force from bottom up" should be done bldg wide.

Our building is doing building wide...3 centers in the building and they say they need 40 total drivers for the building...I'm guessing they will use closer to 60

The belts are split up. Saturday loads on one. Loads for Monday on the other two. They can load half of mondays volume because that's all we are essentially doing is delivering Monday volume, except commercial. So the Monday cars get the commercial stops thrown in, then, they get extra trashed on Monday when the rest of the volume comes in. It's awesome.

So our building is scheduled to start Saturday ground before the end of the month. For those of you who have already started Saturday what happened to your Saturday Air operation. Is it seperate? Did it stop completely? Or are those drivers running routes on Saturday required to deliver Saturday Air with their route? Just curious.

They only used a few air drivers.

Air drivers with top seniority got moved to EAM drivers on Saturday. Still got a job.

Thanks guys. I have a good friend in the building who is a Saturday driver. Wanted to know how this would affect them. Thought maybe it wasn't going to happen for awhile but turns out it is right around the corner.

There was a story on the news this morning about UPS Sat. delivery. They showed a map of cities that were scheduled for it. Pretty much every major city in the USA.

All resi to begin with. At least in our center. Then they are hoping we get more volume. I wonder how long the days will be on Saturday.
