[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1237199, member: 28856"] Outside of peak I agree 100%, but this is a discussion about during peak. I never see people being asked to go home because of overstaffing an area in peak, they just get sent to another area to help out. Management does expect some of the staffing not to show for whatever reason, but it's peak and between all the seasonal hires who say screw it and stop showing up and people who may work a double shift one day but not the next it's hard for management to get staffing right without completely overstaffing so they just take the hit from any grievances that will happen. It's cheaper for UPS to pay a dozen grievances a day for a couple weeks than for them to hire and train 6 more people to work a couple weeks. I said the union doesn't really care because they still get money from initiation fees and union dues in a lot of places [B]and[/B] they get to play the good guy card fighting for those sup working grievances. Most people I know filing for sups working during peak are already working double shifts and getting the extra time, they're just looking for "free" money with the grievances, and I don't blame them since the contract allows it.
