[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5203214, member: 70932"] I hate to tell you this, but UPS is a "for profit" company. Meaning they are in business to make money, and as much money as they can. She's pushing numbers to make money, not with disregard to you. It makes sense to stagger your start times. Why have a loader on the clock for 10 minutes waiting for packages to reach them. Start them when there is actually work to be done. Business 101. How can you blame UPS for this? This is an employee problem, not a company problem. If you are scheduled to start at 6:00 pm, then that's when you start. It sounds like you are scheduled at 6:10 pm while everyone else is scheduled at 6:00 pm. Makes business sense, sorry. Business 101. She's starting the loaders when there is actually work to be done. Not 10 minutes earlier for them to sit around and not do anything until the flow reaches them. Sorry, she's not doing it to take time away from you. She's doing it so that there is actually work for the loaders to do when they start, so they don't sit around on the clock doing nothing until the flow reaches them. UPS is in business to make money, to make the numbers work. Business 101. Where you are at, I'm sure they don't bid start times. They can start anybody and everybody whenever they want. As long as you get your guarantee and any overtime/extra work goes by the contract, she can do whatever she wants. [/QUOTE]
