Word is 70 hours and Sunday delivery

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

They already have record comp cases in my building. Going to 70 will explode in their face.

What's next 200 pound packages?

God I hope so! I’ll save that bitch for my last day on the job!

I wouldn't put it past them.

Vote it down. Remind the union they work for us.

70 hours a week is fine in feeders...they try to get me to do that in package and someone would get kicked in the testicles.

So everybody I talk to is saying 70 hours and a Monday through Sunday delivery... holy crap fellas. Obviously all the high seniority guys don't give a damn, because it won't be them working 70 or Saturdays and Sundays. But for all the lower seniority guys and swing drivers.. looks like we're in for hell. Lube up fellas.

We still have an open letter from Hoffa hanging on our union bulletin board condemning Ups for using the 70 hr rule during peak.
If it is allowed under this new agreement, i feel he doesn’t truly care about us and I for one will vote NO! And also vote against him in any election he is in!

You younger guys are creating all this crap and the sad part is you don't even realize it. So yes , I don't give a .

How so? The company wants what it wants regardless of who's moving packages.

If 70 hours makes its way into this contract.. I am signing the feeder list first chance I get. Not worth destroying our bodies for this company.

You better sign up then because it's not going away. The fact that it's now double time AFTER 60 hrs is enough proof that the company will use the 70hr rule when they want to.

The 70/8 rule is not in the contract it's a DOT rule. It has nothing to do with the union.

The union needs to protect us from the company abusing us.

It’s a DOT thing but we should be fighting to get language added to the contract.

But all of the union leaders work well over seventy hours each week. And they have to work Black Friday with no extra pay.

I have voted against him every time. You should have voted against him last time. I don’t know why people support him. However, it is an election, and you can vote for whom ever you want.
