[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1122071, member: 31414"] PiedmontSteward, add all this to the fact that part-time seniority employees want to know their contractual rights on questions such as; "Who gets to leave first?" I've discovered there is no pleasing everyone on a shift where many want to leave early, some want to leave first, and those that want to leave complain about supervisors working. [B][U]The primary issue in our area is the relatively short sort span from driver return to building time to feeder pull time.[/U][/B] (reload operations). [U][B]This is all a result of fewer driving routes[/B][/U].
