[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 4466120, member: 198"] For about three years now our center has really made little effort to keep preload staffed. Other than half assed attempts for peak. The result is always having at least a handful of drivers working preload and often having to have work cut off their routes and moved to others. And by Friday some barely have enough hours to be able to drive. Sometimes none. Drivers on affected routes were already getting frustrated with the extra work before the pandemic. But once it started it was like Peak started nine months early. Most of the drivers (including stewards) that would normally be piling on grievances for every other issue are some of the ones working preload. They don’t want to touch this one because they are making bank and getting light dispatches on their routes. But, ironically, they still file on sups running routes. I’m telling everyone that complains to enforce the 9.5 list and use their 8 hour requests. If their is anyone on this forum with experience with grievances that forced their HR to hire people please chime in. I’ve heard of people filing “failure to adequately staff” grievances but I can’t find any contract language to back it up. When I started at UPS they were hiring nonstop because the turnover was so high. Now they’ll go weeks or months without hiring. [/QUOTE]
