What is the manipulation part? Eventually you get paid for both of those if you're on your route long enough. Both of those will factor in 50% after the next survey and you'll be paid the full value 2 survey's from now. I'm confused by the OP ...
What was manipulated 100% is the amount of inverted letters and missorted mail. I've never seen DPS as clean as it was for those two week and that's what mattered during the survey so I'm confused by the post. The survey is what the union needs to fight (but is to weak).
That being said, UPS shipments not resuming until about a month before the survey means we are all delivering those unpaid right now since those numbers are not in any of our pay at the moment. On that same note, we were all being paid extra for volume we weren't getting while UPS stopped using us. Unless you are retiring soon, again I don't understand the manipulation part here.
No one wanted to boot Don because we were "in the middle of negotiations". Well guess what is starting again. Negotiations! Well played Don! Well played.
