Ok so same start time again today. But we had two more trailers than yesterday. We had our butts handed to us all morning long. Both sides this morning were backed up, stacked up, not over shoulder height though. Had a big push from the loader ahead of me. About 15 packages fell onto the floor. I got very frustrated walked up and shut the belt off. The f/t sup came down asked me why i shut the belt off. I told him that the packages had jammed up and fallen off the rollers(this all while i was picking up the large pile of boxes on the floor). I told him that it was an unsafe working condition, and that per the methods that they taught us. That if we need to break a jam the correct procedure is to shut the belt off, break the jam, and turn the belt back on. He then told me i was getting a warning letter and walked back up to the switch and started the belt back up. So ok let me have it. What did i do wrong this time? | |

ok sorry I reread my post. You are right I left out the fact that it was probably the 50th time the belt was shut off that morning. I am so sorry to confuse you with this missed information. thank you very much for correcting me. | |
