On my dock we're only allowed to work 4 people that includes the puller so it's 3 loaders and 1 puller. We have 5 people on our dock and I have the least seniority. Now 2 of our workers barely come to work but when they do the supervisor always has to decide who's going to be sent home between the 2 of them. Now they both say that technically I should be the one to get sent home since I have the least seniority but the thing is I set up the dock which means I'm on the clock 15 minutes before everyone else. Can they still send me home even though I start earlier? I see now why everyone here says to know your union rights.
MY 6 MONTHS AT UPS:
Some of you guys may remember me, to those that do I say whats up and to those that don't I say hello. So like I said I've been here for 6 months and despite all of the negative things about UPS it isn't that bad of a company to work for depending upon who your supervisor is.
They let me set up the dock which gives me 15 extra minutes a day, in January my ex supervisor allowed me to get the dollar raise to be bumped up to "picker" status, and apparently I was the number 1 loader in the building for January (said I had 1 misload for 35,000 packages though they never showed me that 1 misload.) and they gave me 2 tickets to the auto show which was really cool. So to any new hires I just want to tell you to try to stick it out and block out the negatives and just get your money, because as with life there will be highs and lows at UPS.
