sheet it missed
same damn thing is happening to me right now... check this out though, the sup actually told me that it's in our contract that if time is conflicting with our customer service, then management is allowed to do union jobs. right away that sounded wrong so I called my shop steward... filing my grievance tonight. my sup worked almost an hour and a half this week while we're under staffed. I'm currently loading our busiest feeder trailer by myself with about 400 pieces an hour. it's a lot harder than the management thinks. seems like alls they understand is numbers.

Typical lies.
Listen to this one; on Columbus day, managers (supposably higher-ups) were telling part-timers who don't know any better , that they were not making time-and-a-half for hours worked on the Holiday. These intentional lies were interestingly at the same time volume is/was down and they wanted 30 people to go home before their 3 1/2, or before the shift started. It worked, alot of newbies and don't know betters went home!
Nothing surprises me anymore.

Hate to burst your bubble but Columbus Day is not a UPS holiday. We trade Columbus and Veteran's Day(s) for the day after Thanksgiving.
Does anyone else remember when supervisors used to walk around the building with a box that had a shoe print on it looking for the shoe that made the mark? Same supervisors are now standing on packages cracking the whip or breaking jams and even loading. Look, I'm okay if I have absolutely no egress whatsoever, and he cleans up my side, or breaks jams for me when it's slammed, but they take it to far.

I got time and a half for hours worked ($34.68/hr), plus 8 hours Holiday pay, so it is here in N.E.

Seriously? I apologize as I thought at least holidays were standard throughout the country.

It peeves me to think that management would hand down those lies when anyone (here in NE!) knows better than to be sent home on a Holiday and not take in the bread except the uninformed.

Columbus Day is not a holiday on the West Coast. Just another regular working day here. Paid straight time. the Feds and the State recognize it as a holiday. I think, for UPS, it's just an East Coast thing.
Not in the Atlantic Area. Just another workday here as well. Must be a North East thing.
