[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1707711, member: 42691"] This was a 6 month process. I was the only one who filed the grievances, and this supervisor lived on my route. So I knew when he got home on a normal day, and on the days when he delivered packages. We were actually pretty good friends. I helped him with some landscaping on his house. He had a real nice house. This was back in the late 90's. I had a reputation, back then, for filing grievances. What would happen, was all of the packages that got left in the building, would be forced on the part-time, preload supervisors. They were instructed to deliver them. It got to the point where I had a female supervisor who would come find me on my route and tell me exactly what she delivered, and how long it took her. Why? Because she knew I filed on it, and she was furious that she was having to extend her part-time day doing our work. I actually took her to lunch a few times. She insisted, because she knew she was the one who was actually paying for it. Haha. Those were the good ole' days. UPS actually tried quite a few things to stop me. Harassment, of course. That never had much of an effect on me. But one thing they did do, that actually cost me some money, was wait until I filed the grievances, then find a higher seniority part-timer to file the same grievance I filed, just before the deadline, so he would get paid instead of me. This actually worked. It spun me up like the Tasmanian Devil, and caused me some serious friction with my local, and nearly got me into a fist fight with the high-up part-timers that were stealing my grievances. All those guys cared about was getting bonus checks at my expense. But I adapted. I learned to file my grievances at the very last minute, and I learned to not trust those POS part-timers that talked the big game, but only played local. It was amazing how long it took for UPS to clean up their act. Like I say, the good ole' days... [/QUOTE]
