This is the one thing, as a driver, that gives you power over 'the way things are' at UPS. I'm surprised how many of you don't enforce it. I think deep down inside drivers want the overtime. I liked local804's method. It's direct, on paper, and enforceable. I don't know how it's worded in the new contract, but if you really want that 8 hr day, I would get with the steward and have him witness your request to your manager. If it gets to the point that you have to file a greivance, then that's the manager's fault, not yours. He'll try to work it out between the 2 of you so you'll drop the greivance, but you already gave him that chance, if you followed the procedure correctly. Good Luck and post back on how it went.
