[QUOTE="LKLND3380, post: 1439606, member: 6601"] Are you using the steps and bringing the extendo up? If not, how do you get those packages down? All the supes care about is getting you off the clock... One all the trailers are done, you are done unless they need you for airs. They don't care about blowing out the belts/mis sorts, empty the trailers... Pulling down a wall IS NOT PROPER METHODS and you can get fired, written up, warning letter. IF you are injured while doing this - over extending, hit with falling packages - it's all on YOU. Work as directed and make sure you document, have witnesses that the supe asked you to do this. Talk to your Union Steward about this unsafe behavior and have a meeting with: PT Supe, Union Steward, Preload Supe, Safety Supe and Center Manager to clarify what is expected. Sounds like you are a new seasonal... Do you want to stay on past Dec 31 and work Part Time at UPS for the next five to ten years (if you want to become a driver)? It's a game and Supes make up the game as they go along... Realistically, I know a guy who can unload a feeder in 15 to 20 minutes... One guy unloading with two people sorting him. All the package wont be labels up but who cares... The Supes will say knock out these trailers in 3 1/2 hours and we will give each of you Gatorade. 4+ hours worth of work done in 3 1/2 hours. Six unloaders and Six sorters each working 1/2 hour less equals 6 hours saved. A new hire throwing out of a feeder makes what now? $9.50 an hour?? Sorters are skilled and generally non seasonal so they make more per hour but lets pretend EVERYONE is making entry level $9.50 - $9.50 x 6 hours equals $57 saved by UPS. But hey everyone in the unload each got a $1.00 Gatorade as incentive... The each gave up 1/2 hour pay $4.75 for a $1.00 Gatorade... What a bunch of brain surgeons... Belts are blown out... Package Cars are stacked out... Missed work at the end of the belts... Drivers are here... Let the Drivers finish loading those package cars... This is the game called UPS [/QUOTE]
