35 out of how many total drivers in your center? Curious what the ratio is Sat vs Mon.
Just call off and see how many people answer the phone. Or how happy they company will be to pay a driver overtime for the entire day.
Fat sum beech.

My building lets a FT driver deliver and do pick ups every Saturday. All OT instead of forcing a PT Air Driver at straight time.
We don't have that option here. These local supplements are so different it's hard to give anyone an answer.

Has nothing to do with local supplements. It is a case of management doing whatever they want to do and the Union Local not wanting to back up any PTers.

Out For Delivery
We have 80 drivers in our center, but maybe 6 or 8 out with injury, DUI, etc. Saturday cut off was about halfway down, so they forced a few 15 year drivers.

WOW. So how do they have enough drivers for Monday is my question? If I am forced to work Saturdays, I will NEVER work a MONDAY. Don't even bother calling me.

What do you mean a Monday interest list? Why would I have to sign a list to work Monday? That's a work day

Sounds very similar to my center. Looks like I'll be working Saturdays

Saturday is also work day if you are scheduled to work it.

We heard a pcm this week about the recent press release regarding saturdays, and for some who were unaware, it was quite a shock.

Sounds like for those of us in the bottom half, our lives are about to undergo a significant lifestyle change, and not a good one.
At a time when we are being subjected to increasing and unnecessary points of stress, UPS is preparing to take away the single greatest stress reliever we have...our weekends.

I'm especially disheartened hearing how much volume UPS is moving to saturdays.
I understand the industry is demanding it, but we are going above and beyond that demand.
Done right, Saturday service could be beneficial. I know when I was a part timer and a Saturday air driver, especially while in college, I would have gladly worked a full day on saturday.

'Yes, we know you already give up your kids' after school activities and weeknight little league games, but now we need you to give up the weekend tournaments as well.
In exchange, you get to watch Price is Right one day a week.'
