[QUOTE="Doubleparkedrunner, post: 5667280, member: 71878"] I've got a big problem with the wording. What's to stop the company from , let's say for arguements' sake , moving 75% or more of the runs to a Tuesday through Saturday schedule and leaving a small percentage for Monday through Fridays ? Instant reaction from almost everyone on here will most likely be naive and obtuse... they will say something like " Oh , the company would never do that " " They would want to even it out " " It's obviously much better to deliver on mondays more than saturdays because businesses are open , etc. " ... And I'm sure a host of other rebuttals for why the company wouldn't do it will come flying in ; But the point is : With the way it's currently worded in the contract : UPS can and would be in the right , or able to implement a ridiculous strategy like that , thus upending the vast majority of drivers lives. Again, why is the contract so vague ? It's my belief that the union leaves these issues vaguely worded to give the company wiggle room to violate the contract whenever they so please. It happens on almost all issues where the company just does as they please because the wording is just vague enough to allow them to obfuscate the contract meaning. This is just yet one loophole in this adaptation of contract. There are more and frankly , its quite tiring to know the union allows these shenanigans over and over and over again. It's like the union is Charlie Brown trying to kick the football while the company is Lucy pretending to hold it. [/QUOTE]
