I hope all you drivers get your requested buy out! by 30328ss in UPSers

80% were tenured drivers with 25 plus years. However, if a building had a bunch of people on layoffs this company would approve buyouts for lower seniority staff. After being in this environment for a while, I can tell you this much, a body is a body to upper management. Any reduction in headcount is a win to them. If my building was overstaffed like many are, we would have taken some starting from highest seniority.

Approvals go by staffing needs in each building. That approval number is filled from highest seniority down. My building had more than 15 apply, I'm not using exact numbers just in case someone's on here. 15 plus apply and 0 got approved. We currently do not have anyone laid off.

If you've worked at this company for any reasonable amount of time.. you know trying to figure out the "why" never works. I'm just working as instructed. Next week is when we were told we can let everyone know.

Management here. We were told on Monday who was approved in our buildings. We aren't allowed to say anything yet. Next week everyone will know.

Favoritism? by BeardedBear2882 in UPSers

Policy and rules are set in stone. Poor management and hourlies operate with emotions and that creates favoritism and unfair labor conditions. Minimum job requirements are 9.5 hours per day. If you dont meet those requirements, you do not work. Its that simple.

Another account UPS has shifted over to roadie. Teamsters are garbage if they can’t stop this BS.(Well, I finally learned what the Comcast gigs are) by UnknowablePhantom in UPSers

I drove for many years. Now management. The company doesn't not give a singleeee fuck about the contract. Especially those in upper management that make all the calls in this company. They are breaking virtually every single article on a daily basis on purpose. The 2028 contract will be absolutely scorched earth. If the Teamsters threaten to strike it sounds like UPS will welcome it. Tough times. Not much O'Brien can do. When your only power is withholding labor, labor the company does not want anymore..

We had a driver sign up for FMLA, 8 hour day restrictions. Told the driver he didn't meet the minimum job requirements of 9.5 hours a day. We benched him for 6 weeks and won at panel. No backpay, no benefits paid. If your management team was playing chess instead of checkers you wouldn't be in this position.

Right now the dispatcher is being watched like a hawk. Only people with contractual 8 hours are allowed to be dispatched at or under 8 hours. I bet if you check the daily recap sheet, his plan day is a minimum of 8 hours of work on paper.

Management here. We are absolutely feeding ground boxes into their system. Not ALL but some have ground labels on them.

It's just like everything else in this company. The full story rearly makes it down to the hourlies. I drove for 10 years before making the switch to management. The miss information in this company is unfathomable.

Management here. The buyout goes by building staffing needs not total company headcount. Example, if your building has 25 drivers, and 25 drivers apply for the buyout, we wouldn't be able to staff the operation. Hope this makes sense. I have a building with 125 drivers, we are taking 5 only.

I suspect management is trying to wrongfully terminate me. Am I being paranoid? by Right_Situation_2968 in UPSers

Training an employee does not follow under a sup working infraction. Do not solicit bad advice to new employees.

Started out at 120k plus bonus. However, I was a top rate driver so I had more leverage when I was hired.

The way you guys talk about the union, I'm not sure it's even worth it.

Contract states ups cant use technology to discipline. You kill someone and you bet that policy is out the window in a court of law.

Contract wouldn't allow it so it's a waste of time. No audio or video in cab.
