[QUOTE="zgirl86, post: 1278100, member: 49429"] You make seniority on your 31st day. Once you make seniority, your seniority date is the first date you worked at UPS. For example, if your first day of working at UPS was August 1st and you make seniority on September 15th, your seniority date is August 1st. You cannot be forced to work through your break. The contract stipulates that break is to be given after the first hour, and before the start of the fourth hour. Technically, if you're only working 3.5 hours a day, I guess management wouldn't have to give you a break. However, if you are working 5 hours a day as you said, then yes, they must give you a break before the start of the fourth hour. You are GUARANTEED 3.5 hours of work a day - meaning they have to pay you for your guaranteed 3.5 hours, even if they only use you for an hour and send you home - unless of course you accept time off available (which is without pay). No member of management (PT sup, on car sup, dispatcher, center manager, etc.) or any non-union employee should touch a package - whether it be breaking a jam, taping boxes, loading cars, splitting the belt, pulling boxes from the belt, etc. Their job is strictly to supervise. If they are having to work, then they need to hire more employees. As for them sending you home and then doing the work themselves, well I would file a grievance on this and ask for back pay for the hours they worked and you were sent home. Find one or two people who can verify that the sup was working that day and have them sign a statement to attach to your grievance. [/QUOTE]
