Union failure

[Heavy Package]

AUTOMATION is coming , none of you will have a job by 2022

You don't have a job now, let alone in 2022. Why do you still troll on a UPS forum when you quit UPS? Hurry up and get those onion rings out! Order up!

LMAO. Like being able to see with better lighting, being more comfortable with better temperature control, and being able to take a leak / dump in a clean restroom aren't expectations while at work. I would argue that a petting zoo animal has better living conditions than a UPS hub worker. Sad reality especially given all of the corporate propaganda on what a great place UPS is to work at. It's a good job in a disgusting environment. That's my point. But you probably go home to a filthy house so maybe a UPS hub is a step up for you.

That is true. The conditions have become an issue, trash ankle high, chicken bones , half eaten sandwiches etc. No toilet paper. Someone used a PE mechanics shirt to wipe their ass, so a lock was put on that bathroom. Defacating on the floor is commonplace. Been in my Building 36 years, never seen anything like it...

 

[bowhnterdon]

And yes, Grievances have been filed, like that really matters..

Most of these regulars that post here are retired and have have nothing better to do...they have no clue of current ups

The new contract has already showed it was a terrible deal. The hub I’m in is looking for help. Has been for a month or more. The current workers are working twice as hard to make up for understaffing issues. UPS gets to work employees twice as hard and actually save money. Not to mention, they can’t find any help, $13.00 an hour at 3:30 am is peanuts in today’s world. College and HS kids don’t care about bennies, they’re on their parents. The union should be disbanded. The sooner the better. Any idiot could have negotiated $13.00 an hour.

LOL the full time supervisor doesn't bother supervising. Been bagging in small sort to try to make the numbers look better.

File. I just deposited over $300 in grievances for sups working. Want the sups to stop working? File!

At our hub we have a hiring freeze at all levels. Part time, package and feeders. Trying to get my nephew on pt sup told me they most likely won't be hiring until peak.

How many drivers are working Preload on a daily basis in your building?

Where you at? Rikers Island

 

[bowhnterdon]

Where you at? Rikers Island

Nope. Big city in Virginia..

 

[bowhnterdon]

It was never like this til the past 4-5 years. Building was clean as a whistle. Floors were cleaned, trash taken out.. Now, it is a Zoo..

I have been at other fortune 500 companies in professional roles and management roles for 15 years prior to UPS. I'll take being in the Union at UPS over any of those jobs.

What UPS needs desperately is a shift in the way they treat all employees, including supervisors and managers, at the local level. It is the corporate culture at the hubs that is terrible along with the working conditions of no heat / AC, poor lighting, and filthy bathrooms. Times have changed and if they want to attract and keep any PT employees, let alone seasonal workers, these areas need improvement.

The union is a crock of crap taking our money to provide the mob with teamster loans.

Those were the good old days. The Teamsters had real power then. No freight in this country moved unless it was driven by a Teamster and loaded and unloaded by a Teamster. No sups ever touched a package unless they planed on paying a penalty.

Maybe because some of us are conscientious and actually believing in getting the job done?
What is it about union guys and glorifying being a lazy P.o.S.

Staffing is entirely a management issue and is not your problem. Just because someone does not want to blow out their knees, shoulders and back does not make them a lazy POS

And because someone else doesn’t want to do the work of 2 for some lazy slob doesn’t make it right either. That happens far too often...

Then quit, I wouldn't do business with anyone I thought was ripping me off. "provide the mob with teamster loans" Exactly what century are you living in?

 

[BakerMayfield2018]

Sorry, I missed a spot. It is “you’re” not a teamster. I fixed it for you. Good riddance and you are welcome.

I hate you and I hate your mother

I'm hoping to hang in there until at least 2024. Maybe I can get a job fixing robots.

3rd strike: You didn't wait until the new contract was actually ratified.

The contract was ratified in October. It went into effect April 29th.

This may help. I believe this is used to teach second graders.
You’re welcome.

How many drivers are working Preload on a daily basis in your building?

No drivers are working preload. Were fine on staffing I believe. Jus cant leave the building on time ever lately. Leaving at 930am everyday at least always have to run straight air. Fri didnt leave the building till 9:43, got to my 1st stop at 10:08am. Had 13 air stops.
