[QUOTE="JustAnotherSup, post: 2815933, member: 66862"] This. Talking to a steward won't help. Talking to a direct supervisor (or [I]their [/I]supervisor, if appropriate) might. And it's not to say that women aren't capable of loading irregs or any of the most physically demanding work we have. It's blatantly not true. I'd guess 90+% of women working these kinds of jobs at UPS [I]are [/I]fully[I] [/I]capable. It's just benevolent, hostile, or chivalrous sexism that leads (typically male) supervisors to make decisions like described in OP. Unfortunately, good luck demonstrating that your supervisor is making not-proven-merit based decisions based on gender. [/QUOTE]
