[QUOTE="Channahon, post: 185660, member: 7666"] I believe this varies with local supplements, as I have seen both methods being used, in different districts/regions. And if the preload is short, or a preloader gets sick and drivers are not available to load, is this a grievance situation? If all union employees are being used, and phone calls are made at 3:00 am and drivers refuse to come in, what the preload sup to do? Should the package be stacked, drivers get out of the building late, and service failures occur, because a union preloaders didn't come to work, or got sick on the job? Sometimes I think the Supervisor Working grievances are unreasonable. Or if there are not enough drivers available on a particular day, should management send a sup on the road, what's the right decison? As a center manager, I would break out a route the best I could to ensure union employees would have the opportunity to pick up the extra work, but by the same token, I ensure all service would be made on delivery commitments and pick ups. And let me tell you, the drivers who got the extra work were usually none to pleased. So I advised them to speak to their fellow employee who was unable to come to work. Usually, the attendance problems were the same people. This was when I worked at Jeff St. Local 705 [/QUOTE]
