Had that happen to me a couple times. Also once all the floors were down I stepped on a roller in the middle. It fell out and my leg went through the rollers. I was lucky I didn't break my leg.
When does the negotiations get to the economics/pay?

I never worked a day in the hub yet will also never forget where I came from.
If UPS management is too chicken
to sit down and discuss forcing package car drivers to work 70 hours in a week then it's going to be a Strike. Until they figure that out there is nothing to discuss. Unless they are just going to give $10/hr raises to avoid bargaining in good faith and avoid a strike.

That's why you treat the part time employees like your door mat?
"One sided talks". "Face to face discussion".
Yeah dude you won't forget. Neither will the loaders and helpers you harassed over the yrs if they still work there.

The day after you retire, they will put another ass in the seat.
Therefore, you are = to 1 ass.

That's why you tested them and taped the suspect flaps to the wall with a quarter roll of tape!

And where did all this tape and time come from? Just get in there and unload you wimp.

When SuckState retires, stock price will probably take a dip.
Imagine, the entire Brown Giant fleet of drivers made up of Daves tomorrow and stewards that are like the one at Dave's center that allows off the clock work.
Big Brown would need a third less drivers for the same production. Stock price would soar. Management would have even less to do ( if thats possible ).
Imagine.

They went back and forth on tape. LP would show up and take all the tape out of an area because they said it encouraged pilfering. Ops would come back and put tape on every stair railing because we didn't tape up flap jobs during the sort and wrap-up would take too long.
As for time...someone always needed more attention than I did.

I know the flaps were bad but there were worse things. In the late 60's when OSHA wasn't as powerful, the company would have a person climb up into the belts to break up pkg jams. Seeing an employee hanging by his arm with it caught between the underside of the belt and a roller was a lot worse.
