I have suggestion. 8hr work for one driver per week. This way hybrid will have work and RPCD will get overtime and a designated day to spend more time with family.
They are taking FT drivers OT

Hybrid drivers should be limited to no more than 4 hours on the road.

You mean like file a grievance and wait months for a hearing. All the while they continue the harassment Or continue working.
Look dude are you suckered in too?
Hire, promote, and use more package car drivers on road.
Problem solved
End of story.
As for your assertion that the company is concerned with our safety since we've been literally slammed with mandatory over time hours since the strike in 97, well I'd say that's ...=>
.
So we're going to put pkg car work on lesser compensated classified union members to help us out?
Why is this so hard to expose?
Is the membership this gullible?
Come on.
If they want to take my OT away and give me just 8 that’s fine. As long as someone else is getting the same pay for the same work. If I’m guaranteed only 8, the 22.4 should be guaranteed $36 an hourWow wow wow. Hold your horses (err.. cows??)
How am I suckered in? I am not thrilled about my hours being given out to anyone else.
As far as my assertion regarding safety. UPS doesn’t give aabout our safety. They give a

Oh come on! You must admit you are exaggerating just a little here. OT is a consideration. Why do you think your sups come down with the whole “no one past 9.5. If you are, you need to message the center” crap?
Another example I’ve seen comes straight from the preload. At our center we have a preloader that’s been there 25 years. If he goes past his 4 hours by a minute, sups are up his ass so fast.
Now don’t get me wrong, dispatch certainly factors in OT into the routes they build, but certainly the trend would spike downward if they can do it and make a profit.
I would wait till you see the whole contract, supplements and riders included until you make a statement like this.
I understand what you are saying with the people doing your job for less an hour. Here is my question. Do you really think UPS will ever actually take your overtime away, as a package car driver?

Not a chance....
It's cheaper to pay overtime, than put another truck and driver on the road.

You’re right they won’t because all or most regular package drivers will have their start times pushed to 11am or noon because the hybrid drivers coming off the preload will be doing your air and morning bulk stops. They’ll send you out with 8 hours of work but you’ll be still punching out at 8-9 pm so they have coverage for late pickups and OCA until the last possible hour, there for no more 9.5 grievances and they still have coverage until late in the evening. You guys are clueless if you think the company is going to give you 8 hours everyday and watch you go home at 5pm. The idea for them is to have around the clock coverage for as cheap as possible. Wake up ppl.
Basically, they will never end overtime for package car drivers. The new harassment and 9.5 language will give the members options. This 22.4 will as well, whenever it gets ratified. Remember this, Every package car on the road costs more in insurance, gas, and upsets their stops per car. If you are a package car driver who wants the hours you'll get them.
Bruh hate to break it to you but the hybrids will be doing the morning work, you’ll be doing the late pickups and your start time will be 11:30am

True. But that also depends on how many drivers will be in OT. There must be an algorithm that helps decide when one becomes more expensive than the other. Consider that Dispatch is also trying to beat the yearly performance numbers for that day as well.
We all get duped. It's called the game of life.

The overall trend, my guess is yes!
Obviously their goals are, make service first, minimize expense (OT is a YUGE part of that) and beat the prior year’s metrics.
We have to fund our retirement somehow
