[QUOTE="LKLND3380, post: 174810, member: 6601"] The Supes pretty much put up with it and I have not seen any get fired... Yet... It's not secure and that is main reason why most hourlies do not choose to move up the corporate ladder. Hourlies are protected by the Union contract with UPS. Supes are at the mercy of UPS. You will have hourlies get into a disagreement with a supe or manager and the hourly can file a grevence against the supe... If an hourly is stacked out and a supe is helping, a grievence can be filed against the Supe for doing union work... It's not personalities/relationships that clash as much as it is corporate preventing everyone from being successful. If every package car was loaded the same and every package was the same size/weight, maybe corporate would know what they are doing. But each package car has it's own personality based on the stops. One car may have the Mall and be blown out with shoes for Foot Locker or Payless so that is loaded different. Maybe you have a residence where the person is always buying from Home Shopping Network. Maybe there is a construction site or University... So many variables... Corporate only sees NUMBERS expenses, profit and payroll... Part timers are guaranteed 3 1/2 hours each day and are paid overtime IF they work over five hours each day. So you try to get the most out of the person in a short time BUT you must also be safe and use proper methods... To use proper methods and be safe takes too long and is near impossible when package cars are bulked out from front to back... Dammed if you do and dammed if you don't... [/QUOTE]
