[QUOTE="LongTimeComing, post: 1081064, member: 45493"] The only time it's ok for the PT sups to jump in is if the management team has exhausted all means of trying to get help. Considering how small your center is, this is a simple process. First, move people to the work. If employee #8 is getting swamped and #3 and #4 aren't doing anything...move them to help. If every employee in the building is swamped, then there is a call list the management needs to go by. Again, with how small your building is, there probably isn't much of a list. After those things fail to produce a bargaining unit, then it is perfectly OK for the PT sup to work. It's not like you can hire someone in the middle of a sort. And it's not always justified that you need to hire anyone because of a spurratic jump in flow one or two days a week. Your particular circumstance is sort of in a bubble, because the true problem is that, for the most part, PT sups work because the lack the ability to manage. They are too timid or scared to move people. They don't know how to go about the call list. etc etc. But again, in your building, any grievance is probably going to have a hard time sticking.
