I work on a belt that has 9 union employees. We have 2 part time sups. A little over kill I would think. Anyway, we had 5 no-shows today. Seems as though I missed the memo that we were having a walk out. The unloaders in the back started to go home around 7:30am. Our belt and slides were stacked sky high. Do they send any unloaders to help? No.
However, we have 2 Part time sups, 1 full time sup, watching us. and radioing back and forth. Oh, did I mention we also had a safety manager of some sort asking us safety questions? The strangest part was the 2 guys writing down every truck number down and the time as they left the building. Our trucks got out late, so there will be a lot of late airs according to the drivers. What’s that saying…..to many chiefs not enough Indians? But hey, we answered the safety questions correctly….not that you could implement them into the real UPS world.
Best part of the week, one fellow employee was late….why? Because he got held up at the guard shack do to a lost UPS ID that he lost over Christmas. I asked “How have you been getting in the building all this time?” He says “I flash my pop tart package.” Only took security ½ a year to figure out he was flashing a package of pop tarts.
Anywhere else, this would be the start of a strange week. Here, life as usual….nothing to see move on.
