Would 2 non-consecutive days off per week cause you to vote no?

[Coldworld]

The historical trend is that PTers don't vote.

How many of the full timers vote???? 30%-40%???? Maybe that’s too high???

If most of us voted they would be bringing us serious contract proposals....

I will take my Saturday and Sunday off, so that about non consecutive days off. Child care would suck and what days am I going to have off. Plus they would try calling saying will will give you tomorrow off instead of your scheduled day off. Dont let this crap get in to the next contract or you will regret it.

 

[wide load]

Would you vote no if the contract proposal included the possibility of a fixed or rotating work week that included 2 days off that were not consecutive?

I don’t really care about if the are consecutive or not, as long as they are Saturday and Sunday!!

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Absolutely, no questions asked.

For one our bodies need time to recover from handling excessive irregs and over weight packages. Second, we all have lives outside of work and some people like to plan mini vacations on weekends. I would never agree to split days off.

Don't even have to think about!

Where is this information at? All I've ever seen is the total for each local. I've never seen it broken down my PT or FT.

I ask because I don't believe anyone really knows. They just like to say it because only 30% vote at all and they assume it's mostly FT.

That's his problem I would take him serious if he actually backed his claims up with actual data/original sources. @UpstateNYUPSer you claim we are overpaid! Show us the data! Are you a worker's compensation based on the market scholar? Prove your thesis!

 

[Scottyhawk]

Yes

Most part timers work second jobs and work their schedules with ups' schedule. How would they be able to do that with having 2 days off non consecutive not knowing which days you're going to have off? It's stupid

Have you graduated high school?

 

[Indecisi0n]

YES. You need it on this job when you get older. You’ll be surprised how you start feeling when you’re in your 50’s or god forbid 60’s

Being 50 sounds horrible. I mean your like almost dead at that point.

 

[Boston25]

Have you graduated high school?

Yes I did graduate high school and I was part time for 8 years before I became a package car driver. What's your point?

 

[PT Car Washer]

Only if you are a package car delivery driver. Otherwise 50 is middle age.

50 is the new 30. So a pkg driver can easily work til 70.

 

[Indecisi0n]

50 is the new 30.

Isn't that something old people say ?
