Do u not have 30 working days in yet? If you do have enough to join the union then join. When u put a pkg in a car make sure you look at it again, especially if pulling out of a stack on floor.
I, probably putting a package in a car that it doesn't belong in is the main reason for his misloads. Sorry, could resist.

I stand corrected ... however, Obamacare is just around the corner.
P/T benefits are pretty good overall including vacations, holidays, healthcare and even pension.

After Obamacare comes in there will be even less of a reason to start working as a pter.

My thoughts as well but we may be accused of being a cynic.
Thats not the word....."we"...were thinking of!

If the "Trainers" are like anything in my building that was a good call.
He could always stand up for himself and tell the friend--ing A--hole to stop yell at him.

Just an update to the situation if anyone was curious.
When I arrived the next day, I was put in front to split and handle 2 trucks. A veteran loader was then put to fill my old trucks till they get a new hire in. From what I was told, the veteran had 8 misloads the first day and stacked out the whole time. Since being moved to the front, I've had no misloads and kept up with the pace of the belt.

Experience isn't everything.
Is that what,....she said.......lol....right after size isn't!!
First of all, I have to say I'm.sorry for what you're going through. Have you made book yet? Union? If yes, you need to slow down and work by their methods. Remember this, you can't get fired for going slow, if you are ever disciplined it won't go anywhere. Go slow and make sure you have no misload and you're doing the job properly. If they yell at you, who cares? Tell them that you're doing the best of your ability and working safely - that's it. By now, you should already know who your shop steward is, correct? If not, ask a senior member who you trust. Tell him/her everything that you told us in your post. Some shop stewards are inept and make side deals with management just to get some day-offs. You want to know the address of your local union hall and get your ba's name and number.
So what do you think? You think the abuse is over? You better get prepared for the other wave that's coming soon. What city and state your ups building is in?

Well its been better since and more enjoyable.

For everyone that keeps asking, the union wont talk to me until ive been employed for 6 months.
You're in local 631 and youre covered by the western supplement. You can make the union if you haven't worked 70 working days within 6 months, not 6 months. Do you think you have worked 70 days before October 1? You cant accrue seniority through October 1st through December 31th. No offense, but your supplement sucks, and I though mine was bad, not anymore!

That’s Craptacular
If you thought our supplement was bad (and it is, especially for PTers)....why the friend did you not only vote Yes, but took a pic of your ballot and posted it on BC?? And you want to be a steward?? lol glad YOU AIN'T EVEN in my building! lol

I was under the impression that, technically, IBT/UPS union stewards in RTW states are still supposed to represent their coworkers who aren't in the union. I've read on here that those coworkers don't always receive the most competent representation but are entitled to it nonetheless...
I always thought it was ridiculous but remember reading it time and time again, complaints about non-Teamster UPS employees enjoying the "perks" (can't think of a better word) that accompany our union dues and membership . Can anyone speak up here and let me know whether or not I'm misinformed?
