In our building , we have drivers helping drivers. Yep , some days drivers are driver helpers making regular driver pay. About 90 bucks an hour riding around after 8 hours. This is not the same company I went to work for 25 years ago. The stupidity from management is at an all time high.

These people have nothing better to complain about, I guess. My question is:

Does the golf cart operator get driver pay???


I was thinking the same thing. Must me retires that have nothing better to do than complain about things.

Can the company work casuals with regular drivers on lay-off? If I was on lay-off and a casual was working I'd be filing for the time.


I have never heard of drivers being laid off and " temps " working in their place. If this is true , it is another attempt for UPS to save a dollar.

I am still confused. You said you drove the route before but sounds to me like you are a sorter on a part time shift? Are you full time or part time? I agree that it is untimely and the union should protest it. I have never in 24.5 years heard of a warning letter coming after that many days. I really don't understand this at all. Seems to me the company wouldn't even try this since it was so late.

What a Joke! I received yet another warning letter yesterday stating i did not follow proper loading methods. I had no clue i was getting one, was not even aware of the incident in which i was charged for. Yet a teamster rep signed off on it. WTF! Thought you guys would at least stick up for us, perhaps its true what all the older guys say: the rep must have lost the hole on tee # 9 therefore signed his signature.

I questioned the supervisor that signed it, yet he could not even give me the exact details what i did. I'm still waiting to hear... I was also transfered to another center 60 miles away for that day, never once have i been trained over there, but expected to go run a bid route.



What is the UPS company coming too??


I am confused. You said you transferred to another center 60 miles away? Never heard of that before. Were you forced to go? In our center they have asked people to go to a near by center for the day but never have been forced. Were you a driver for the day or part timer? UPS has the same " rules " in place in all centers but some center managers enforce them and others don't. You might want to be a little more specif so we can give you the best advice available.
