Do not let this keep you from filing a grievance. Legally, a supe can't do anything at all to you for following a grievance. I am not saying he won't give you for it, but you definitely won't be suspended or receive anything more then some dirty looks or a smart comment. You cannot be disciplined in any way due to the fact you simply pointed out that the supe was doing something they are not allowed to do. Even better, let them suspend you, file another grievance for disciplining you without any documented warning AND without a steward present. You'll get back pay for the time you were suspended. If your lucky, they'll suspend you for a week and you'll get a free week of vacation.that wouldnt fly to well in this building in some cases.. if a hourly did grieve the supe would then jam him up and suspend him most likely .. so he really is losing
I am not suggesting this is a way to take advantage of the union. I am telling you not to be scared to file a grievance against a supe who is doing an hourly job. You have to look at it for what it is...the company is trying to take money away from you! Your the one who woke up VERY early in the morning to come to work. If there is more work to be done and more money to be made, it should be made by the people who are supposed to be doing it. Not by some supe on salary who UPS doesn't have to worry about paying any overtime to.
