Can UPS force me to work a sixth day?

Saturday/sixth-punch protections vary by classification and supplement — many full-time drivers can refuse with seniority-order forcing rules.

Whether UPS can force you to work a sixth day depends on your classification, your supplement, and whether the Teamster-Saturday operations (TSO) language applies in your building. In many supplements, full-time package-car drivers can refuse a sixth punch and the company must force in reverse seniority order, paying premium rates when they do.

Air drivers, feeder, and TSO classifications have their own forcing rules. Ask TeamstersGPT with your supplement selected for the exact forcing order, the premium rate owed, and the procedure for refusing.
