[QUOTE="Squint, post: 1266974, member: 48231"] Sounds to me like this is a part timer. What I do have an problem with is a full timer coming in and working on the loading belts helping out. We had an issue with this back in the '90's. A driver would come in, load for an hour or so, then drive his route for the day. He was not a senior driver, no management personnel asked any of the senior drivers if they wanted the work and this driver was getting mega dollars as his day was stretched. He did not receive a pay cut for the loading hours he worked, he still received his driver pay. This is wrong. It takes away dollars from the Union as the company should be hiring new personnel to fill this "gap". Gawd, I hated that guy and it just gave others incentive to go up and work "off the clock" because the other drivers didn't really know what was going on. When I did bring it to the attention of management their response was "do you want the job?" Hell no I don't want the job. I don't want to spend my whole life at this place. But I said that they should at least ask all the other senior employees if they do indeed want the job. They never did ask, they would only offer the job to the drivers that complained. I ended up talking to my BA, talked to all the other drivers about it and eventually the company caved and hired some more part timers. My point about all this is stay informed about what is happening in your immediate surroundings. Management is always trying to get away with stuff. [/QUOTE]
