Saturday Ground Update

[Peppermint Patty]

Thanks

 

[scratch]

I had an S&V ride with an out-of-state supervisor recently that is on some team that is going around putting Saturday Ground in. He said something like we are expected to spend/lose a billion dollars starting this up. At one Atlanta Hub, they just told the low-seniority drivers one Friday that they had to work the next day. He said the startup was a total disaster. Cars not spotted, Preload wasn't ready, ORION not set up for it, etc. etc.

I'm sure we will get this all sorted out in the next contract negotiations.

You'd get Tues off, just like if a holiday was on a Sun, you get Monday off, on regular M-friend schedule.

No...you get paid an extra 8 hours for Monday but you still work 5 days that week

There is nothing to sort out-----language for an alternate work schedule is already in place in most, if not all, of our supplements.

Here they're not going by seniority per se. They've selected the routes they want to move to Tues-Sat and are giving the drivers the option to follow their work to that schedule, or they will put the routes back up for bid

Where'd you read this?

How it has always been for our T-S(past practice). Haven't looked for it in contract, but it is in the spirit of the contract.

We go live with Saturday delivery out of my center tomorrow. Got my fingers crossed that volume is way down on Monday and I will be able to enjoy that day off. Time will tell.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

It is still a bunch of crap that a UPS driver would be subjected to working on a Saturday. I think I will try to get hired at a grocery store. Or a farm. Lol

Not at all. I've ran our Tuesday thru Saturday air run during a Monday holiday week. We don't get Tuesday off...

Happens here, every time.

Might be local language.


Day after holidays are heavy. No way they are giving that many guys the day off.

Which supplement are you under

That's a crock of . I bid on my route which is mon-fri. They shouldn't be allowed to just change it. None of this should be allowed until next contract/next bid..... or they should just consider sat as "extra work", ask for volunteers and than force from the bottom up.

Not how the contract is written

So that you can work every Saturday AND Sunday AND Holiday for peanuts?

THIS^^^

I'm not sure how it can be looked at any other way. UPS promising 6000 new jobs has the Teamsters drooling....

They can always change routes. You're allowed to follow the work if you choose.
