[QUOTE="just chillin', post: 806554, member: 33261"] this was a tough nut to crack on our preload. for years it was the rule that the minority of fulltimers had to load package car assignments while partimers unloaded trailers, loaded assignments, sorted or drove the bulk cart. all seniority was used for was to pick vacations. then came along scanning. again partimers were used. then we got a preload manager (one in a long list and at least half got fired over the years for fudging numbers) that decided to reinvent the wheel (again) and opened up a can of worms. he said there wasn't enough volume in the beginning of the night so he uprooted all the first shift partimers and forced them to the second shift. then he made us fulltimers unload trailers and scan. we started arguing about who gets to do what and seniority kicked into play. then we raised the argument that hell if we can scan on the first shift, why do we have to load on the second shift and let partimers scan? it all snowballed after that and seniority was used to pick job assignments.
