Filing grievances is fun. Especially when they try to settle it with you directly before signing off on it.

To me, the target's already there. The grievance is the shield that deflects their doing union work arrows. I understand, a spa printer goes down and it's do or die to get the feeders unloaded, or a 50 pkgs need repacked in 12 minutes because something leaked all over the place. But to load an entire car or work the entire shift to make numbers look good doesn't fly.

Here's the problem with that. Today they are just trying to get pkgs out the door and it's an emergency blah blah blah
So give in and let them work now tomorrow they're gonna be loading and unloading as they please

I'm on 'em. It's getting very rare that they work, now. But on Monday I had to load all of the closed biz after preload because they thought they were gonna have the sups do it. I told them at the beginning of the sort when they were sending people home that we would have a feeder full of send agains and the sups better not touch them. They tried to play "egress". After sort, They didn't know I was still there finishing up a leaker when I saw one sup starting to scan them. So I told him get outta the way, I'll do it. It won't last because I'll drive for peak and plan on not coming back into the bldg. guys w/less seniority drive all the time.
CALL THEM OUT by filling a grievance!

They get away with it all the time on our air sort now. All the guys that would file a grievance no longer work on the sort. It's all the younger guys and they are afraid to file. I said something the last time I went back to the building and the former steward didn't even back me up. Gave some excuse saying they're arguement would be that they have the right to help when it involves time committed packages.

Funny you say that, because it's the same thing here in Local 25.

I love when one of the newbie PT preload sups shuttles me out something on his/her way home. That puzzled look on there face when I ask what there name is cracks me up every time. Why you need my name? Because you just bought us another pizza for this years Xmas party. LOL

Our center obviously didn't file enough grievances last year because we didn't have a party this year

Ours was great last year. Open bar and all the pizza you wanted. We must have went thru 50-60 pizzas. And the good beer. Not that Budweiser piss water

Your steward would be correct.

For 30 years for the most part, sup's didn't work on our air sort. They would try it all the time but got challenged on it and backed off. I've been there during the meetings. Not once was time commitment brought up. It wasn't OK then but now it is. Different drivers, different shop steward, different center manager different rules. Rural drivers handled the whole sort for the most part. Guys retired and the new guys complained about their hours so they let em go early and shuttled their air to them later in the day. Now the air drivers get extra hours so I guess that was the compromise. I can tell you for sure that 10 yrs ago if management was working on the air sort when certain drivers were present, on Monday a grievance was on the desk. I've seen the grievance checks so I know drivers and PT's got paid on them.
Also make sure that they are hiring. Have a friend try to get hired and see what hr says. They got busted for that here. If not hiring they are not exhausting.

Additional staffing... That's a good one and you have been here long enough to know better than that....oh wait, that's right your building is fully staffed and you all get off at 530 and go have beers with your bosses....

"Additional staffing" would include calling the union hall.
You can't work unless training! You must not know contract
That might work for plumbers, carpenters or electricians.
How many laid-off Teamsters would UPS allow to come and drive at a moment's notice?

You may want to refresh your memory as there are other instances where it is acceptable for supervisors to perform hourly work.
Keep in mind that there is not a supervisor out there who wants to perform hourly work.

If all hourlies available are exhausted then a supervisor may work. TTKU
