[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 841609, member: 18708"] You need to understand a couple things first. This is a union job. YOU ARE GUARANTEED 3.5 HOURS OF WORK. If UPS cannot give you 3.5 hours of work, they must notify you a week in advance or give proper notice as your contract supplement says. If you plan on staying at UPS as a Teamster, read that contract inside and out and memorize it verbatim! Management will only bend and break those that haven't armed themselves with the working knowledge of the contract. Once you are at work, they MUST work you. If not, talk to a union representative. Tell them that the company is trying to send you home and that you want your 3.5 hours. If you are still asked to leave, even after your rep spoke with your FT or PT supervisor who is handling daily staffing, you can then file a grievance for all hours worked ASSUMING that there are people with less seniority than you working while you were "sent" home and also assuming the company did not follow the contract and give you the proper advanced notice you were not needed. (very likely) When the company asks you to leave, they are NOT short on packages but they made the mistake of staffing too many people for an "area". It is NOT a shortage of work, do not believe that blatant lie. You volunteered to go home in the eyes of the contract unless you did the above. The company is well aware in advance when the package volume will be a lesser and greater levels. They are simply assuming, and banking, that people like you do not know their rights and are not willing to fight for their job and work hours. A willing victim is their favorite type. [/QUOTE]
