If I didn't get a talkative helper I'd lose my mind. It is interesting that they recieve zero training at all now on how to do the job, just a bunch of safety lists from people who have never delivered a package. We are suppose to be paid 50 cents more an hour if we are training. UPS usually claims it is training new hires inside for 2 weeks as the supes will be doing work near new hire. So the way I figure we are owed 2 weeks at the premium rate once you get a helper. I file and see what happens. At very least it will get center manager's goat.
Put your pen back in your pocket---training helpers is specifically mentioned in the contract---we don't get trainer pay for training helpers.
