Say NO to 70 hr work weeks petition

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

We dont even have enough volume to keep all our FT drivers working. Our bottom 5 seniority drivers work about 2 days a week. In order to work 70 hrs a week that would mean that the volume in our center would have to double. Even during Peak there's no way we would work over 60 hrs a week with our volume.

It's not as though we are going to immediately go to 70 hour weeks or a 6 day work schedule upon contract ratification. The Company simply wants to have either (or both) of these options available to them in case they are needed within the next 5 years.

150k a year. Bring it.

Would rather spend the weekend with my wife an kids. If money is all you care about the is sad.

I for one will vote no to any contract that has a 70 week option in it. 60 is bad enough.

It was a joke . Relax

UPS has an agenda with the 70 hr week. What they really want is us being available any 5 days of the week. Vote No!!!

7 weeks vacation is a lot of time with wife and kids.

Do the math. 3k a week.

Sounds good but man, all those hours?

I was thinking the same thing. The wording is there way to change shifts as they see fit. I wouldn't be surprised if they want routes going out on Sunday.

Too many for me.

I don't need to sign a politically motivated petition to know that we are striking if MANDATORY 70 hour weeks for pkg car drivers ever happens again.

 

[JackStraw]

It's just a proposal. The union would never agree to this. I think.

Like I said. It's just to get us to give something up.

 

[El Correcto]

Sure why not, I’m not going to get a lot done in that 70 hours if that’s how it’s going to be.
Be prepared to pay significantly more for diminishing returns come 50+ hours of work.

 

[UPeopleSuck]

Once UPS implements 70hr weeks and my wife leaves me

 

[Heavy Package]

3 day 13 hour days? Sign my ass up 4 days off, thats an improvement.

I can't imagine the stop count on a day like that. I'm in the suburbs of a medium-size city. Start time of 9am puts me on-route 9:30am until 10pm with a 30 minute drive back to the hub? Who the hell wants their doorbell rung at night? What about pick-ups and getting back to service the air and ground?

This proposal sounds like a scam by UPS. But I know guys who will take the 3-on and 4- off schedule. I bet UPS would make this a Fri-Sun schedule LMAO.

Maybe Hoffa can get it down to 2 weeks vacation, whatever Hoffa can do to help UPS out.

 

[SmithBarney]

3 13 hour days would be awesome so long as they are in a row and not at company's discretion. No way in hell am I working Mon, Tues, Fri.

No No, Much better Mon, Wed, Sat...

 

[Rack em]

No No, Much better Mon, Wed, Sat...

Sign me up.

Pm air drivers? I dont know and we dont need sigs at comm. Stops now so maybe we dont need to knock either? Haha, look 4 days off a week in any capacity means i see my family more.

Your jokes suck. You're no @Turdferguson That's for sure. I'd put you just above @Jkloc420 which is still a below average score.
