Rep Power: 0 |  Brown Up Day!!!!! (Management Only)
Tomorrow is Friday, and in my hub it's Brown Up Day. The goal is to do as much union work as possible without getting caught. I was hoping that we could get something going across the country and compare stories and notes. Get away from your desk for a while, and do something good for the company. Last week I had a guy scan and load over 1600 packages!!!!! BROWN UP!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll give you a tip, it's all about the staffing. Short staff an area with young employees and let your part time sups do the work.

Might as well. Makes business sense to me. As long as no one grieves it then keep it up. Not like management has anything better to do. |

i think i would be looking for signature red polo shirts and/or suits. If i didn't see any I'd be looking closer at everyone's faces, although with 12 ppl in the morning 20 drivers and 4 night sorters it's much easier lol

Fridays are the best day for mgmnt to do union work in our hub.
Our stewards rarely do anything about it since it's Local 25 and the side-deals they ahve with management. If a steward decides to try to throw his weight around, a company-friendly or two hourly tips them off before the steward approaches.
Usually the PT supervisor children with something to prove, thinking they are going somewhere with the company, sweat it out quite well unloading and sorting on Fridays. UPSSOCKS certainly fits that mold. I do not interefere anymore - just laugh at the 4 -eyes weenie boy sweating through his polo shirt, working harder than I, and making half the money per hour(if that).  | |

Today was a success.. I walked the building and it was covert. The boys and one girl loaded 6,237 packages!!!! I snuck up on one of the sups and threw an audit and he missed it!! I am taking them out for beer and pizza later to reward them for a job well done. Our sort payday was a 3.48 that's under the guranteed 3.5 and it couldn't be possible without the help of the sups. Thanks guys and girls...

Do all the Stewards have side deals? Our Stewards are crooked as well. They know all about Brown up day but let it go on because they only want to work an hour or two on fridays....

As long as I get my 8, I could care less who does the work alongside me. Hell, I've blown the whistle many times to keep sups (that I actually "like") out of the crosshairs of stewards if one is making a round.
THe stewards here are mostly full-time. It would take the entire 8 hour day to walk around one of the largest hubs in the U.S. and tally all of the sups working grievances. Plus, making 24/hr with two easy jobs (part of the deal), you really don't have much room to get greedy towards the company. | |

Easy there genius it's only guranteed 3.5 if you are made to go home. If you leave on your own free will it's time worked.
