[QUOTE="hoser, post: 208734, member: 6357"] :lol: i'm a conservative. so no, i'm not really in hoffa's pocket. you tell the people how to run each workstation because ups falls short on it's obligation to tell [I]you [/I](the unionized worker) how to run that work station. they're supposed to teach you. you're supposed to do what they tell you to, not the other way around. it's how a unionized environment works, no matter how much you dislike it. ups is just too arrogant to admit it. ups is the only organization out of the eight organizations that never taught me how to do my job. they gave me the DG training, told me not to walk on rollers, and pushed me out. no training on how the trailers work, how to safely unload, how to operate the equipment, what do do if a package comes with no service selected on the waybill. they just leave that for us to learn ourselves, or the anti-union whippersnapper. so, uh, yeah. do as you please. but i'm going to take my rights; refusing unsafe work, sick days, walking off and not looking back after five hours, asking the supervisor what to do if i see an unsafe situation every time i see an unsafe situation (about once every fifteen minutes), asking the supervisor for directions on how to lift an overweight every time i see one, filing grievances whenever a sup touches a package, never throwing boxes. you a call it laziness, i call it taking taking everything that i'm entitled to. i pay $40 a month for these rights, i'm gonna take them. and best of all, i'm doing absolutely nothing wrong :w00t:. you get written up working your ass off and throwing boxes, you think ups is gonna back you up? no. but the union will. the reason why ups violates our rights, gets sued (successfully) for insulting their supervisors, and does not acknowledge seniority is people like you. you don't have to be pro-union, but you should at least be pro-taking-what-you're-entitled-to.
