[QUOTE="KzooUPSer, post: 1395214, member: 54427"] jams in the shoots are the supervisors' responsibility to clear. Sounds to me that your coworkers are more familiar with the way things go at a UPS hub than you. I worked on a belt with a 25 ft shoot and it would get jammed quite often, and I usually would climb up and clear it, until I was warned that it wasn't my responsibility and if I should get hurt or something while doing something that was a management task I could be fired. This has nothing to do with the hourly's work ethic, this is a challenge of the ethics of management, who you will more often find doing a job that isn't theirs by right of our union contract to do. In turn, they leave the union workers to do jobs that management should be doing. UPS is a corporate machine, and they can and WILL work you until you've got nothing left to give. And when you've got nothing left to give, you'll get a pat on the back and be shown the door. For that reason, you shouldn't volunteer yourself to do a job that isn't yours to do. If you're going to cuss anyone out, cuss out your belt sup who should be more attentive to what's happening on their belt, they're the one's not doing their job. [/QUOTE]
