Probably.
Certain exceptions exist for, say, an Act of God or if they've tried to call in doubles and have exhausted every means of trying to get bargaining unit members in to get the work done. But this probably wasn't the case.

He can simply record the DM working with his cellphone for proof.

Not a good idea to record UPS property on UPS property while on the clock.

We had a girl record the sort manager working on her phone. Walked her out just a month short of 25 years. Never saw her again.

I can see recording something on a phone while on th clock as "stealing time". The DM part was more of the extreme case. More so the manager doing Union work. By the sound of things one would need to rally by the squad and have multiple people back the grievance to make anything stick.

No, it has more to do with Information Security than anything else. UPS doesn't want it's information out there on the web for competitors to see. Also a manager doing hourly work doesn't always use hand to surface, walks on moving belts, slides, etc. It just makes us look bad.
I have heard of Full Time Sups being grieved successfully in my local for blatant violations of the contract, but never a DM. When he is here, our DM just walks around all the time with a worried look on his face and questions the ft and pt sups about the operation. Hourly work would be way beneath him, and rightly so. But get witnesses, it might work.

Is it possible? Anything is possible.
Would the Union back it? Not a chance.

Your BA must have a working relationship with both the center manager and DM. Signing off on frivolous grievances would seriously erode that relationship.

There's nothing frivolous about upper management stealing union money. However, I seriously doubt anyone at that level would ever touch cardboard.

Consider the media is always across the street when they film a story about an event at a UPS location.
