those of us in the central states/UPS plan need a raise in our retirement benefits to what you guys get in NY. It should be the same benefit nationwide for retirement regardless of region, this is a national contract. As far as sales leads go as long as they keep cutting routes and pissing off long time customers by changing delivery times I don't have a chance to retain their business. Just lost a large shipper recently because I'm no longer able to deliver his stop before 9am anymore (late start now due to preload issues) don't even start till 9am now. He called in a concern about it and was told by center manager it was a business decision and it wasn't going to happen. They might as well take the SERVICE out of our name...
The company would not have spent millions to implement Telematics just for the hell of it. It will be contract language that it can be used for discipline without direct observation.
Have you tried getting a sales lead lately? Our price point is putting us at a competitive disadvantage, hence the two tiered wage system.
Ours is a multi-employer pension plan. I agree in principle that there should be one standard pension throughout the country but am not willing to give up what I have earned in order to make this happen.
cranky
Other than giving up your raises in the current contract how is it that you have "earned" more than the rest of us?
Give the part-timers better tools to prevent misloads.
Give part-timers a raise, so as to retain quality people.
Language that provides drivers with the right to determine whether or not they will deliver a misload.
I would like at least 5 days of sick time per yr, in lieu of any raise.
Give me the option to change one of my vacation weeks to option days
Make every center a bonus center.
How about some matching 401k like many company's have
On misloads, it's a safety issue as much as it is sweeping the problem under the rug so higher management won't be forced to find a real solution. Safetywise, area knowledge is extremely important. Example; they once sent a coworker of mine out to deliver a misload on my route in the winter. If he'd fell for the nice dry roads you start out on, he'd have been backing uphill, in the dark, on a windy road for approximately half a mile to get back out. Otherwise ice would have dumped him in the ditch and they'd still be trying to figure out how to get his p1000 out. Extreme, yes, but no worse that trying to find a house number in the dark in an area you don't know.
I sure hope not. No one can run under in my center as is except for a TDP.
Why not? Are you saying if you skip your break and go like hell and punch out before you hit the air sort,
you still can't run scratch? By the way.what's a TDP?
