Pointers on the benefits of the union..... lot a good its done them
Among other rts I've done that were pretty difficult let's look at my duties 4 years ago at the tender age of 47. Clocked in, stretch and flex, quick meeting at belt, pre-tripped my truck, went up to containers to unload. About 45 minutes of non-stop unloading, went to truck, scanned in 100-150 pieces, set truck up, then left bldg to deliver 20-25 priority stops by 1030 getting to first one by 0910-0920. Went into P-2 deliveries immediately, typically 85-95 total stops over 110-150 miles with a stepvan loaded with boxes. Usually went on lunch around 1700, back at station shortly after lunch, worked reload unloading freight from other couriers vans. Parked about 17-18 trucks, went through about about 30 trucks checking for missed freight, clocked out 1930-1940. Sometimes 2000. And from moment I clocked in until I clocked out I was humping. No strolling, no chatting with customers. And I was stuck with all those extra duties because mgr lied to me on phone about nature of duties and hours to get me to transfer in. Same strategy used by mgr here. And above wasn't my worst rt over the years, maybe my 3rd worst. Not all FedEx rts are equal. In my experience there are always one or two in every station that everyone knows are worse than the others and those rts are usually the ones open in our weekly computer postings known as JCATS2. So yeah, generally UPS drivers work harder, but there are FedEx couriers who earn every penny and don't get compensated nearly enough for the demands placed on them.

You seem to know a lot.Left right,whatever.Ups drivers work way harder than express.
Imagine your route,with the Fedex ground and home volume all in one day.
Every day.The production harassment,the telematics,no send agains,punch out by 7pm crap
we suffer through,we deserve every penny.The recent threat to reduce benefits is not acceptable
for a company that does very well.Ups is not Fedex.We are always hiring.
Come on DS tell us how you really feel!...lol

Democrats have nothing to do with the fact that Express has hired hoards of mediocre , thieving, underachieving employees that are prone to steal narcotics in the last few years....
LMFAO !
But let's be fair...mediocre, thieving, underachieving employees tend to be Democrats!
Hey, if you are going to pitch me a softball like that I have to swing for the fences!

It always amuses me the number of people here who seem to know what someone else's job is all about, even though they've never spent a minute in their shoes. I honestly couldn't say how hard it is to be a UPS guy or Ground or whatever and wouldn't pretend to. I think they all require a pretty fair amount of hustle.

Back to the topic......
I am paying close to $150 a month and the quality of the policy is not nearly as good as what the UPS drivers enjoy. Confirmed by both my doctor and dentist who have several UPS patients.
I hope you guys stick to your guns on this with the negotiations.

Wait a minute...why would those mentioned above even fill out an app to work at Express? Let alone show up.
Aren't they already receiving boatloads of "free stuff" courtesy of Obama?
