Ive been working at UPS for about 8 years now as a ramp employee. In the past when there was higher turnover we would occasionally have to go inside and unload cans that had been just taken off of aircraft and brought inside.
However, recently this has changed to now become a daily ramp employee responsibility. Is this kosher with the union? They have fired several sort employees who were performing this job that we are now doing.
Its become somewhat of a problem going from inside where its 20 degrees and working hard to then 15 minutes later going out in -5 with -20 windchill.
I work bellies without complaint, but dressing for the weather and having to strip down then suit up doesn't seem right when i thought my job duties were outside only.
