Can anyone tell me if offically there is such athing as department seniority? My supervisor insists that other people with less part time seniority can work more hours than me even though I have an earlier hire date. I am working the preload doing sorting. I would like to know the answer to this. I have already tlaked to the union steward, and he insists there is no such thing as department seniority.
Need more info need. Who getting more hours the guys loading the cars ?? however I would bet your complain because the primary finishes a little before the people loading the cars and when the primary is done your SUP says you can leave.
The problem your going to have is that they aren't going to send the guy loading 4 cars home and stick you in there to finish up. They are going claim that it could impact making service. The guy loading the the car knows where all the package go some packages might have a pal to a specific area but get put somewhere else because they are bulk stops or are the first stop that the driver stops at. Also if there are misloads who are they going to blame ???
Watch out what you wish for you could find yourself loading cars...
I too work the preload as a sorter the 10 to 15 minutes a day extra time the loader got really isn't worth the hassle of making sure each package gets put into the right car and trying to keep up with the belt...
