You can't refuse work. If they come to you and tell you to mop floors, you mop floors. But then you grieve it.
Work now, grieve later. Next time they won't mess with you.
what contract is that? i see porters every day mopping floors and bathrooms.its called their job.I would especially grieve mopping floors because the contract explicitly states that no union employee shall perform janitorial work.

For instance if you are a preloader can they make you work in the hub or charge packages to the cage? I was just wondering.

It's in the master agreement. no janitor work for union employees. maybe it say's that they cannot be 'forced' to do janitor work. i dunno. find it. it's in there.
What's a porter? I work in a small center.
Aspenleaf,
All jobs require that you also "work as directed". As was stated in an earlier post, always do the work first, then ask questions later. Sometimes you may find out someone else should do it the next time. Sometimes you may find out that your supervisor was within the contract to require you to do the alternate work assignment. You protect yourself when you work as directed when asked, and then argue about it later.
work as directed is the rule. If you are denied a higher earning opportunity then you can grieve for lost wages.
