I was wondering if brothers could work in the same hub on the same shift and I was also wondering if let's say if the hiring manager does get a workers brother on and puts them on the same shift knowing that they are related and other management found out would they fire them?
Brothers working in the same hub.

When I first started family members were not allowed to apply if someone from the family was already working here. Those rules (fraternization) have been relaxed but I still don't think two family members can work on the same shift in the same hub.

The only time family working together poses a problem is if one of them supervises the other. This is basically any company except for family own private businesses.

Long, long time ago it was not allowed. But, we had 2 brothers who were hired in centers in 2 different towns. When our center expanded and took routes from the other center, the one brother followed his route and joined his brother here. It was scandalous at the time!!
Yeah, but I wouldn’t. Might get into brotherly fist fights on the belt over dumb stuff. Like the hub rat you’re both banging. And the brother who didn’t start the fight could get fired and walked out. And then.....awkward Thanksgivings and Christmases forever.

Twilight is in the evening, right? Here it's called reload. Anyhow, it wouldn't matter. The kid is in the morning and the dad is in the evening. No direct supervision.

We have families of feeder drivers in our building. I think there are two families of 4. One is 3 brothers and a dad (I forget the other). And several other family configurations in our building.
This used to not be the case years ago but when you can't people off the street to take the job, then you start hiring families.

Fraternization is when a superior and subordinate are romantically involved. Nepotism is when a superior and subordinate are related. Generally, if you are on the same level, there is no conflict of interest. Though there can be problems if you can't keep any personal issues out of the workplace.

I used to work with two brothers on the sort aisle...every day they would have a huge fight about staying for hours or leaving, it was amusing.
I've seen other family members work together in different parts of the building. Biggest issues was riding together since one person could finish an hour before another.
