No Solid State Drives in our building until next week per the contract per management. Instead, loops are lopsided as hell with the would-be SSD volume getting dumped on a route and giving the frazzled driver a helper.
SSD's (PVD's) implemented 6-7 weeks from Christmas. New contract already ignored?

They can used SSDs right now. Also if you're on the 9.5 list then the contract is not going to help you retain your overtime. If you're not on the 9.5 list then file for SSDs taking your OT.

Yep had to explain this to some drivers today, even though I tried to tell them a couple months ago.
Should be a fun peak.

We’ll get through it just like every year. Lots of bitching, moaning, and groaning.

I just don't understand the whining. Go enjoy the holiday season with your family. We work hard all year. Enjoy some easy days.

Peak or not, it's just about following the contract and protecting union work. Company is always going to look for a way to pay someone cheaper.
Not looking for 60 hours but today I carried around 40 stops on car for 6 hours that weren't mine leaving me with 7 hours of work. I made sure to turn it into 8 though.

You don't have guaranteed 8 hour language?

Yes, but our DIADs are coded pay actual. So technically you're supposed to ask for your 8 but I'm not going to ask to do some odd task especially when I've just had work taken off my car. So I just drop anchor.

Interesting. My local just passed this out a few weeks back.
They can't 05 us unless they ask. Not saying this applies to you. We're you on the 9.5 list?
Not sure if it’s still the same but we could go take the PVDs work if we were done and wanted more work.

With the new contract, a driver needs to have come off the 9.5 list by Sept 1 in order to have a claim to the work over a seasonal employee. If you weren't on the list Sept 1 or after then it's your work if you want it. If you were on the list all they have to give you is your 8 and you can't use your seniority to get more work

Nov 1 for insiders if they signed an interest list before Sept 15. UPS can't hire someone as a "preloader" Oct 31 and have them PVDing Nov 1

They do it all the time in Upstate New York. Of course- many jellyfish agree to it. Oh well...

It's a passive/aggressive technique they use to motivate the employee's during peak.
Wash.. rinse.. and repeat. Nothing new.

I don’t ever remember getting a 2.75 raise in any year I’ve worked here.
