Do you need an air compressor or tire gauge
I have to wonder if the "normal" procedure will still continue. What I mean by that - at my hub, us twilight guys.....we work from 6:15 to 10:00, and then they send us home. At that point, the sups take over and finish loading the trailers (clearing the belts), handling / loading irregs, etc. I'm still relatively new (started here in August) - so, can someone enlighten me as to why they are so determined to cut the loaders at 10 pm? Is overtime during non-peak season a taboo or something? To add to that - is this "routine" something to file over being that they are sending union workers home, and then doing the work of a union position?
Um, supervisor are not allowed to send union workers home then finish the work left

Interestingly enough, happens daily in my hub. Just reviewed the contract (the master - not sure of the one specific for my region)....seems like a conversation with the steward in my building is in order. I'm curious to know what his thoughts are on the subject.

Don't go grieving all the articles, now. ;)

Lol not sure grieving is a good idea at all. I'm sure there is a reason things are the way they are.....just trying to understand how things "should" be, how they "are", and the reality of why. I'm not one to rock the boat, but I do like to know the lay of the land, so to speak.

You have to pick your battles that for sure but...

Yup- goes on everywhere. The big talkers will say no but it most certainly does. UPS has the upper hand.

Would you happen to have access / the ability to find and send me any riders, supplements, etc for my region? I can't gain access to the local teamsters site - I've applied, but seems they aren't processing submissions. I'm in Pennsylvania.

Which Local and city?

Time to print out our Letter of Understanding for Peak Helpers and pass out to the part-timers again. They really appreciated it last time. Drivers were saying how they kept asking them questions about the language in it.
