I am the new pick off on my belt. My belt is one of the heaviest in the building so there is 2 people up top.

While up top, we get heavy, and theres a jam on the bottom belt, so our chutes fill up...we yell out to break the jam, 2 minutes later, its still jammed...and now we are running out of places to put the boxes. So I peak under the belt and notice the 2 people who load the trailer where the jam is just hanging around talking...loading real slow...then theres a guy in the trailer next door who is clean as a whitle, but also is over with the other 2 yapping away..almost ignoring the jam...eventually they break it...but anyway...im called down to help them finish up their trailer...then then..all 2 get sent home..and 1 is told to go help out the next trailer...so im stuck finishing, and on top of that doing the eregs....now the one guy who was clean loads the retain trailer...he only loads like 4 to 5 walls a night...which is about probably 280-360 boxes...wow..woopie do...and he gets to go home?

so lets recap

I am pick off....not a loader

the loaders load slow causing me to get called down from my position and help them cus they r slacking...

then the guy who hardly loads all night goes home???????\

why couldnt he do the eregs and finish the trailer? why do I ( the pick off ) have to come down.... EVERY SINGLE NIGHT...and pick up their slack?

The old pick off..was called down and sent home....why do I have to always come down and pick off their slack while they go home and im stuck finishing their work...if they were not talking so much and working..they wouldnt be jammed as much and backed up as much...making everyone do their own postion.

My buddy who use to be a hourly is now a supervisor..and he told me that is complete BS

so my question for you guys is

If this continues where I am called down every night to finish their job...shpuld I go talk to my manager?

and say something like

" I never complain, and I dont mind helping out every now and then, but I dont feel its right or fair, for me to be called down from my postion every single night to finish their work because they are moving too slow, then on top of it for the other ppl to go home while I stay and finish their work "

or should i go to my supervisor first, and talk to him about it before I go to the manager?

What do you guys think?

I think you should go out drinking with your sups boss.

No they do not have to ask if you want to go home based on seniority, You have the right to work based on seniority not the right to go home.

The highest seniority people have the right to the most hours, the union does not protect the right to go home based on seniority!!

Sorry try another argument!!

Maybe in your sorry local. You should really bring that up at your next local meeting, and try to get that fixed.

If you were here, in our area, you would be exactly - wrong. If someone goes home it goes from the top down. It is protected by the union, I know, I have filed on it.

I think you have answered all your own questions I think you are at the point where you either become a supervisor or start forgetting how to do some things.

If you no longer want to do everything then stop being capable of doing everything.

You sound like you are just sad because your coworkers and sups aren't constantly telling you how awesome you are.

He is only a supervisor for like 5 months or so, and the sad thing is, he comes to me and asks me where something might go because he hardly knows his own sort

Are you sure you want to work for UPS long term? If this gets under your skin then you will surely go totally postal when you become a full time employee. Just do your job.

[NY11725]

He called me down yesterday but like 10 minutes after, he told me to go home....they are trying to get people off the clock to save money I guess.

I dont want to be a sup right now, I enjoy picking off and I want to stay up there for a while, and as for as forgetting things...I could easily forget but they dont forget the fact that I know the whole building.
