Sounds to me your warning letters is B.S. Did you admit to it? Where you even asked which trailer you put it in?

"Hey, I put it in the trailer it was supposed to go in" That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Who knows what goes on with packages once you leave the building.

We just got a talk to, center wide, about exception reports. Missed, send gains, mailers, not getting on the right pallet or pigeon hole. So what, really. Send a letter to the local and UPS human relation that you dispute the companies position and deny any wrong doing. Then go and make some coin.

I disagree. 8/1/87 the pkg rate was $15.45. The calculator says it equals $30.70. The rate on 8/1/11 will be $30.79. Add defered comp (H&W, Pension) which was around $4.00 then, calculator says $19.45 equals $38.65 now. But as of 8/1/11 the pkg total is around $47.00. just sayin...


Nice point until you consider the amount of that deferred compensation that actually benefits UPS workers. Try only 40%. 40% of $19.45= $7.78.

BTW, your "point" is worth 9 cents. $30.70 vs $30.79 NINE CENTS. Congratulations. Don't spend it all in one place. :oops:

In Topic: How would you rate UPS

UPS is a very detailed and successful company that has an iron grip on cost. Its hard for employees to feel anything but objectified in an environment like that but its also meant job security. UPS obsession with cost control has made many of its managers abusers. They are themselves terrified of losing there own jobs if they don't meet targets from Atlanta. We employees, at least the full-timers, enjoy some pretty good benefits for the very hard and long hours of work put in. Contrast that with UPS competition and it really doesn't seem all that strange.

UPS is way better than it was 10-20 years ago. The new technology actually helps driver more than UPS. For all the "control" UPS gains workers now have real data to prove they are innocent. The only people that are hurt by this technology are the lunch runners and idiots that are to stupid to realize what a great blue collar job they have.

I hear at FEDEX express, ground, and home delivery its as bad and even worse because they have no contract to hold back the harassment. Say what you want about the contract not being enforced and I'd agree with you most of the time, but, we still have a contract.
