UPS should reconsider Saturday ground delivery.

[onehandsolo]

Having Saturdays off would be great for letting me have more time with your mom for sure. It would certainly be moving me more into her for ground delivery, how about that pal?

That is why you are a 22.4!!

This sounds like a sup/on-road post..

Not a 22.4 I have worked here for 33 years and My Mom passed away last year.

UPS has to keep up with the times or they will be out of business.
Some of the guys actually like working Tuesday through Saturday because they have Mondays off and they can get things done they couldn't normally get done on a weekend

Sundays are coming, maybe next contract

I don’t work Saturdays and will be retiring soon. So it’s not a issue for me. I just think the company would be better served keeping there employees happy.

You sure you work at UPS?

Many freight companies are promising no weekends free Cdl training with pay and large signing bonuses for new hires. Have a driver in my center who will be leaving for one of those companies. Times do change but right now employees have more leverage than ever.

Or.
And this is just me throwing this idea out there.

UPS could buy more package cars, and hire more drivers.

Crazy talk
How about we just rent them ( by the thousands)

The thing is finding and keeping quality employees in this environment is difficult.

Not if you pay them enough and treat them like people

I think after peak UPS should limit or end Saturday ground delivery. With the current labor shortage and contract negotiations around the corner they will have incentives to this. Most hourly and salary employees would rather be on a Monday thru Friday schedule. Many companies nationwide have already change hours of operation to allow employees more Personal time. It maybe the best move going forward in a competitive environment for attracting and keeping quality employees.

Ups has never attracted quality employees, especially inside pt hub rats

Back in The day they did because those people wanted to step up and be a driver

That's a problem right now people think that a part-time job should support their living expenses. That's not what this job was designed to do. It was designed to give people on college above average wage only work a few hours a day so I could focus on their college courses
