Second Class Drivers

[Brownslave688]

Especially on weekends.

You deliver ground (especially on weekends) you deserve top rate. I mean that's a hallmark of the union.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

Or people who can't handle a real job??

I would rather be thought of as a complete loser in life, than to put on browns and remove all doubt.

Any talk about the 4 day 10 hour work week? 3 days off? Or is that just my drunken hallucination?

They are making a new “hybrid driver”. They will work Saturday and Sunday and do 2 20 hour shifts.

 

[silenze]

Wtf is this now Fedex? and paying fedex wages? Wow you all are sellouts.

 

[anHOURover]

And you voted for “them”
FACT

We heard about this at our last union meeting.

The morning drivers would work the preload and then go on road for 3-4 hours while the evening drivers would go on road for 3-4 hours and then work the metro.

Lower pay rate.

It does make sense.

Yeah that’s exactly how they will be used. Smh!
That classification will be the end of a FT package car driver.

 

[wide load]

I’d only vote yes for a hybrid driver if the pay is $200 per hour.

At least our part time drivers and full time drivers get the same rate.

 

[old levi's]

If the Master is voted down we would continue to work under the existing and we would vote again.

we? you got a freakin' mouse in your pocket?

No it doesn’t You want to be doing the same work as the guy next to you for less pay
Who knows how much less

That’s a can of worms that shouldn’t be opened

Pandora's box is what this proposal is.

So far, Your doing a pretty good job

Keep up the good work

Yep, and when you accept lower wages for workers doing exactly the same job, you've just let UPS "insert the tip".

The figure I heard from a current driver who got a text about it mentioned the rate of around $22.00+-/hr. If you think a second class driver is out delivering but has more stops left, and it's time for him to come back and finish his shift in the hub, they are going to have him come in and miss packages? Nope. He (or she) will stay out to prevent service failures and get the lower rate basically to be a FT driver.

 

[clean hairy]

I'm grandfathered in as a Monday through Friday driver. Anyone else with less than 25 years, sucks for them.

So now we can you Gramps?

...and you folks thought that I was crazy when I kept talking about a two tiered wage structure for drivers...

Nope.

Morning drivers will run off air and bulk stops while the evening drivers will sweep drop boxes and bulk pickups.

Nope.

So you don't think the company will take advantage of the situation to suit their needs? The company I worked for for 38 years will take a mile if you gave them an inch. I don't see that ever changing.

We have language in our supplement for that. They just never put them up for bid for some reason.

Just on Hog Breath Island.
