r/UPSers

I got a PROD BNS for .15 hours. What does that mean?

Starting as at UPS preloader PT anything I should know ahead of time or any advice? my goal is to be a driver eventually if the opportunity arises.

I work on local sort and been here for almost two years and I just checked my time for last week because my check seems shorter than usual. I was told
To come in at 6:30PM and I am
Clocked in and working at 6:30PM Someone has been adjusting my time to 6:50PM. I checked my hours so far this week I was told to come in at 6:00 to do the air truck since that person is on vacation and my time has been adjusted to 6:50PM for this week as well?! WTH

Two days ago i was unloading and banged my forearm into the end of the conveyor, the part that you hit to make it back up, and it hurt at the time but nothing that made me have any red flags. Next day, the day is going normally and then at my last truck of the night i have a sharp pain in the spot where i struck my forearm. Hard to pick up anything at this point, now today before going into work i iced my forearm and made sure to stretch it out plenty before working yet the pain is still very sharp and prevalent. I’m nervous to report an injury, i know that sounds ridiculous but don’t want supes to be pissy or say i should’ve filed when it happened. Never been injured before at a job so im hesitant. Hoping it’s just some soreness or something along the lines of that but worried it’s something worse based on how hard and painful it is to lift anything. I’m also nervous about a drug test (no i wasn’t under the influence at work) but i do partake in a certain “hobby” outside of work. Honestly lost, any comments are appreciated and apologies for long winded post.

Hi guys, I just passed my road test. Does anyone realistically have any idea how soon after do we go to intergrad training?

I just moved to a different building due to operational needs, so I followed the work and was put in the unload. I was told I have higher seniority than most people there but I wasn’t given the choice to pick a position. Should I file a grievance after my FT said she could not accommodate me because of staffing needs in the unload?

P.S.

I’m in the central region and have not been able to talk to a union steward as they are on vacation/sick.

Taking my road test tomorrow any tips/advice or anything I should look out for?

I am not a grievance person at all I could give a shit if someone is working but when someone is verbally being annoying with comments and remarks that’s when I get pissed off. I’ve been a sorter for years twilight part time and night/ preload 14 years I know what I’m doing, the methods and techniques I’m pretty decent at my job. There’s a new supervisor covering in the aisle for the week while one is on vacation, I’m getting pretty annoyed we’re on day two of the week and this one supervisor giving his criticism and what to do and how to sort I’m constantly moving I’m not too lazy. If this supervisor says one more thing I’ll either snap or file a harassment grievance. The other preload supervisors think I’m a pretty good sorter also point is what would a harassment grievance get me. Removal of supervisor from said location? As one would say your two cents is appreciated but not needed.

Hello I am thinking of transferring to Ontario but I want to know how big is it and how severe are the layoffs? Also since its an airport hub do routes/brown trucks come out of the hub? Thanks!

I am starting as a ramp person soon and I was wondering if I am able to use the student tuition reimbursement immediately or wait 9 months? The hr person I talked to at biometrics appt said benefits kick in 9 months but student tuition reimbursement benefit has changed she believes so she will get back to me. Thank you guys in advance!

Got an email today saying a spot opened up to be a backup feeder driver in Goodyear. I’m currently in preload but an hour away with a car that’s not fuel efficient in the slightest.
How often would I expect to work as a feeder? I know that’s kind of a toss up question since it’s just when they need help but has anyone taken the risk?
This would be a major financial risk but would working just a few days in the week counter the cons? I don’t really care about the commute in terms of time. It’s just how expensive gas is and I would filling up twice a week which would be impossible with preload pay and my current bills.

Hi,

According to the RCMP I don't have a criminal record, but the paperwork they gave me shows I have been charged before but there was a "stay of proceedings".

If UPS sees this, will they turn down my application?

I am an unloader and a few weeks ago I had to use the restroom badly and I stepped out of my truck looked around and saw no one then went to the bathroom. They just recently moved my part time supervisor so I didn't even really know who I am supposed to. I went to the nearest bathroom and it was occupied and I could not wait so I walked to the next closest one...the facility is huge so they walk alone cost me a lot of time. By the time I got back I was met by a very hostile supervisor who never even introduced himself to me before this interaction who screamed and cussed at me for being gone for so long and didn't believe I was using the bathroom and asked me the same question 20 times about where I was more and more aggressively each time. Finally I had enough of being cussed at and walked out. I returned to work of course getting yelled at again and at the time it was said that the problem was because I didn't tell anyone(even though I didn't see anyone around or know who to tell) but now every single time I go to the restroom even when I tell them I am threatened with a write up when I return. At one point my full time brung a union steward over to have a "documented conversation" with me because I went to the bathroom and straight up told me that I can't use the bathroom when I'm not on a break without getting an ADA accomodation while the Union steward just went along. Yesterday I went to the bathroom and when I returned they told me they were going to write me up but instead they were just going to count it as my break and I wouldn't get my break. It's literally every time I go to the bathroom regardless how long I'm gone even if it's a quick trip. I took a write up already for leaving but I don't think it's right to have to feel anxious every time I feel like I need to use the restroom because I might get a write up. Union reps seem to be doing nothing about this but I will be filing grievances.. but at this point it seems I'm going to be forced out of my job before I even really have a chance to fight it.

Anyone dealt with a situation like this and knows what I should do? I'm trying to wait this job out for a chance at being a driver but I don't know how long I can keep being treated this way.

Feeling less nervous about it after finding out that on road will be driving first day. Any last minute tips to help me feel more prepared? Been going over my 5s and 10s again to make sure I have them down. Thanks for any and all help.
