How do we change loading areas. I have more seniority than a new kid & want to take his area.
Thanks,

You talk with your supervisor first, another thing is that if they move you from your area how will it impact the preload, if the new guy is not ready than you may have to wait, I don't think your sup. will move you if it will have a negative effect on the sort.
Dammit! Guess i'm not moving. My area is pretty heavy. one driver has a custom load(took me 7 weeks to master it). And yes, moving me would have a negative effect on the area(unless they separate the trucks to different parts of the center).
I thought it was based on seniority.

If this was a serious question, then I'll provide a serious answer: you cannot request a specific area, just a specific job. If you're Preloading, and your area has 5 package cars and 1,500 pieces whereas your Preload manager assigns his 18-year-old Mexican "boi toy" an area consisting of 2 package cars and 300 pieces (usually an area that's built so that the loader helps others throughout the day), then too bad, so sad.
Exactly. This is something a lot of small sorters in my hub have been getting bent out of shape about; contractually, you don't have a "right" to a specific area, only that bid job. I saw a woman literally melt down over being pulled out of the debag area (7-9 workers bust open smalls bag for processing) for talking too much and keeping the other guys from working. She was still in small sort, just not in "her" favorite spot.
Wow - we refer to the de-bagging area as the "sin bin," since you're only placed there if you're on the ship list. Literally an area nobody wants to work in.
