UNCLE SCROOGE-UPS forcing package drivers SUNDAY DEC 21

[laffter]

Where is this? I offered to work on my vacation and was told it's not allowed anymore.

As far as I know, you can work your vacations in most places.

If you work on a Sunday, you are paid your regular rate. However, if you also work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Friday will be your sixth "punch" and paid at overtime.

So the question then is, is a paid holiday a "punch"

no, not here

Not in New England, sat/sun always overtime.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

Only 5.25 OT today, 19 for week. Next week should be sadly lucrative

Having 30 years I'm sure you're a top guy in the center. No one else can have the day off unless they are forced to work before you.

We worked Saturday last year. It was optional.

 

[upssouth]

You can actually no call no show 3 consecutive days and it will still be treated as 1 incident. FYI..

 

[oldngray]

3 consecutive no call no shows = job abandonment and grounds for termination.

 

[Loader_Of_Boxes_154]

I thought that if you no call-no show 3 days in a row, UPS considers you to have voluntarily quit? Or is that just for PT? Maybe varies by region?

 

[oldupsman]

24 hours I believe and a warning letter possibly.

No longer have a contract book but I believe it is 48 hours notice for change of start time.

Tentative plans are to force Package to deliver SUNDAY December 21st.
Many of us will be celebrating Christmas on this day with relatives we wont see on Christmas.
2 questions...

1 By what date do they need to inform us we are forced to work?
2 What is the penalty for the first no-call, no-show of my career... A warning letter?

Go to work. It's a job for a reason. Do christmas Saturday if it means that much.

This isn't new. I've been hearing for 2-3 months we would work this day.

 

[Brownslave688]

One of my many Religions says I cannot work on the Sabbath. Havent been to church in God knows how long, but thats what i am going with!

You know in all honesty it would work for any other religion.

 

[Brownslave688]

I am a sinner and will occasionally lie out of weakness without realizing it at the time. But I will repent of the lie.

To purposely lie, even a "white" lie is an entirely different matter.

You don't have to lie.

I don't think this is just in case of bad weather as the extended national forecast does not show any major weather issues through the 25th. I think they are doing this to try to take the edge of the 22nd.

One of the questions I have is if I go in and run a bunch of residentials will they try to give me an add/cut for areas that were not delivered that day? To me that would that defeat the purpose of my having worked.

People work to make money. You'll still get paid right?

If you are a man and you can't come into work simply call in and take yourself out of service for the day. It's that simple.

 

[TooTechie]

You don't have to call in sick. You can simply call and say you won't be in and that you're taking yourself out of service. Thus eliminating the possibility of ANC/no call, no show. They can still apply this towards any attendance issues you might or might not have, but you're not jeopardizing your job.

I have been working for UPS for more than 30 years.
I have never worked Sunday in those 30+ years, and UPS does not own me, or my time.
I call in sick only when I am truly sick.
I am fully willing to suffer the consequences of my actions, but I will not lie.
I am a Christian and believe in following the 10 Commandments.
Another warning letter will help me wallpaper my bathroom.

Jesus would tell you to call in and let them know you won't be in.

I refuse to give up my free weekends. You'll be delivering my stuff.

 

[clean hairy]

Tell the truth
Wont be in today due to personal business

 

[Re-Raise]

I don't see how it will help enough with volume on Monday to make it worth the hassle at my center.

Businesses will be closed and the residentials I deliver will be the same people who get more crap on Monday.

I will just have two Amazon packages for them Sunday and two for them Monday.
