It's been happening a lot lately. We are missing loaders, so I am being pulled down from my position as the pick off to load. The other two pick offs are NEVER pulled down when their short loaders, so why am I? Should I say something to management or go straight to the SS on shift?
Being pulled down from the pick off to load..... ?

Work as directed.

Heh?
Yeah, I giggled at your reply considering it's a seniority position, and I have seniority. I shouldn't be pulled down to load when they are plenty of other people who can be put into a trailer.

Do you have seniority over the other two pick off employees?
Sorry, I wrote that wrong. The other two pick offs I referred to are on different belts picking off, and I honestly NEVER see them being pulled down to load when that belt is short loaders. Each belt has one primary pick off, and then 1 or two backups in case the primary is out.

Work as directed and grieve later.
I've been working as directed for over a week now watching some random guy not even from a outbound come take my position. Enough is enough in my eyes.

File a grievance.
That's what I'm planning to do. There's no reason to put someone else up top, if I am available to do it. The SS who is always there when I'm there is cool with me, so I'm sure there won't be any issues with him having my back.
I apologize but I am unfamiliar with the terms RDR and RDL.

RDR--Rear Door Right
RDL--Rear Door Left
RDC--Read Door Center
These are all load positions.
Ah, yes, in other terms, as in, I know how to load properly, then yeah, of course I'm good at it, but I'm bomb at picking off, and I'm being paid to do it, you know? I pretty much virtually catch every miss sort , and my dead chute is full usually roughly 3 times every night. We're a jax belt, so the only FL we take is 324-325, and I'm constantly dead chuting every other FL you can imagine. I know they know I'm super good at it, so I really don't know why I'm loading. I've done my time loading.

If you don't know those three basic terms then you have never loaded a package car.
I work the reload, we load trailers as I said a few times now, no one on my shift loads a package car. But those terms do make sense in a trailer as well, but no, I've never heard the terms used before. Anyway, I appreciate everyones input. Have to run, take care.

The other guys in the picks do they have loading experience? They may be just looking for the best man for the job.
