UPS should reconsider Saturday ground delivery.

[Wally]

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.

No, expand it. Have every route go out.

That’s messed up. Considering cost of living there must be crazy high

I am on my way out they are giving me 3.5 every day

What they are paying me isn't even beer money

Once I made my 30 days I quit my other job when I started here.

Back when PT made the same hourly rates as FT, Just fewer hours.

I remember not being allowed a second break when double shifting. 10+ hours with only one 10 minute break.

But do you really need more break than that when doing car wash/shuttling/picking up letter boxes?

Exactly

Major retailers want to offer Saturday delivery. If UPS wants their volume then UPS will have to deliver on Saturdays.

In the shifter, yes all the time.

Considering nearly every one of UPS' major competitors offers Saturday delivery, there's no chance UPS will discontinue it. It's certainly not hurting their earnings based on the Q3 earnings report.

Sorting the boxline.

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..

STFU
