Me too.
The supe did give you the missed pieces to deliver. In some centers, the supes would have delivered them on their own. That I would grieve.
BS. Every time one of my non-union buddies laughs about how management is absolutely not allowed to touch packages, I tell them that the reason for it is because every time they do, somewhere, a union employee related to that work, is off the clock. In the big picture, it protects our work.
Every time a sup goes out on a package car, one driver misses out on a days work and a days benefits. And when they do this, it makes them feel they can do it whenever they choose. Whatever reason they give, call-ins, heavy volume...doesn't matter.
Staffing is staffing. That's their real job. Their ignorance, or their lack of a desire to properly staff operations, isn't our problem. Our contract specifically deals with this. Our job is to file on EVERY instance in order to prevent this. Who wants to file grievances when they can just do what they're supposed to do?
