[QUOTE="SupraFast, post: 547946"] Negative. Let's be real here. Supervisors are responsible for the work area, yes. It is the employees who create the egress situations and choose not to clear it. I too am an employee of UPS and want to work in a safe work enviornment. If I see something unsafe, I'm going to correct the situation immediately. If I disciplined every employee for creating a egress situation and not following my instructions to clear it up, we would not have many long term employees at UPS. The truth is, some things need to be over looked and certain scenarios need to be taking into consideration. If you have a guy sorting at a bay and a few of his boxes fall on the floor, he's not going to care if you pick it up for him. He would much rather have that little bit of assistance rather than having to bend down and pick it up off the floor himself. If I instructed him to stop his bay and clear that minor egress situation, he's not going to be very happy with me. So it works both ways. Management and Union Employees need to work with each other in certain scenarios. Samething with heavy packages. I get plenty of employees who ask for my assistance in helping them sort a heavy package. Basically the issue is, if a Supervisor is doing minor things such as this, it's not really grounds for a grievance and nobody really cares. If you have a Supervisor actually performing a Union job for a consistent amount of time, then yes, it is questionable and grounds for a grievance based on the reason the Supervisor is working.
