[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1088293, member: 42270"] You're actually raising a very important and valid issue, Integrity. Working off the clock is something within the culture of UPS - unfortunately - and we should do everything we can to curb it. I see it all the time in hub operations.. area setup guys working 15-20 minutes off the clock because they don't want to get yelled at for their belt not being ready to roll by start time. Hell, there are 4-5 employees in my own area that are guilty of this. Two are scabs and a lost cause. The other two have been doing it for at least a decade (way before my time) and are simply in the habit of doing that. I tell them it's wrong and inform them of the consequences, but they continue. Not to get all high and mighty, but I have a theory that production harassment actually causes psychological damage and these workers are behaving like an abused individual. One of the guys that's guilty of this in my area actually admits he does it because he "doesn't want to be fussed at when his numbers drop in the middle of the night." [/QUOTE]
