[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 764150, member: 12570"] [b]Re: Ups security guards[/b] Steve, I am an hourly, the same as you. It is not my job to do my manager's job. If I am asked to cover a shift and I have nothing going on I will say yes and cover the shift. It is none of my concern as to whether or not he took the time to contact the 8 people ahead of me on the seniority list. If someone were to file a grievance that would be between that person and the manager and I would not be involved. Saturday mornings are hectic. The plane will land sometime between 8 and 10am. The driver and Saturday sup go through all of the NDA to separate Saturday pkgs from the others. The sup will take those Saturday packages which are outside of our Saturday delivery area back to the center with her so that she can call the consignees to make other arrangements (pickup or Monday delivery). The rest of the Saturday, along with the remaining packages, go on to the PC and the driver begins his route from the airport based upon the addresses on the Saturday packages, beginning with any EAMs. No, there is no EDD on Saturdays, so area knowledge is key, especially in the noon commit zips. Now, if the Saturday driver does not show as scheduled (usually 8am), the sup will call him but must make other arrangements to ensure service is made. She will call the center manager to let him know what is going on and to ask what she should do. It is his call as to whether she is to follow the seniority list or if she is to call those drivers who he knows will be available and willing to come in, keeping the time constraint in mind.
