[QUOTE="Used&AbusedwithNoPrivacy, post: 810786, member: 33677"] You must understand that each day the Part-Time Sups get an enormous amount of pressure from Upper Managment to achieve increased efficiency while being safe, zero injuries, zero overtime, and zero misloads. Anything short of this is failure. So, you must remember you have to demand respect out of yourself, you might have to get into a shouting match with your sup face to face in front of others in order for him to listen to you, and I guarantee that after that day he will respect you. But, you must do it with grace and control, you can't get mad and stomp outta there. You must find a way to stand up to him and calmly express your reasons for disagreeing with him. Remember, he will be right in some cases and you have to back him in front of others (thats how you get his respect too), and if he has ever loading he has been in your shoes and probably knows what he is talking about. It is your responsibility to call him out though, whenever you feel something isn't right, slows down production, is unsafe, or goes against the path of least resistance, you must inform him. Don't do anything, if it is unsafe or could get you hurt. Always get help on the overweights and irregs. Also, you always have the right to request a helper if the load gets to heavy, or you can get him to help you. If he works over 15 minutes without your consent, you can file a grievance with your Shop Steward and Union regarding your supervisor doing bargaining work without your consent, and stealing your work time. Remember, the relationship you should have with your Supervisor should be a natural system of checks and balances with each other.
