I have only been with the company, now, 3 weeks as a preloader.
Today, Monday, we had about 1/4 our regular work force, due to it being Monday, and about 10 out of the 35 not even showing up, and about 10 of those leaving a few hours in (we started 2 hours earlier than normal).
Our source stickers came in labeled from the 20th (Saturday) half with saturday sources, the others as normal. No one told us if we were packaging predated, so everyone ended up sending it down the conveyor.
The half hour mark, they started sending them all back, saying they were all for today.
After that, they moved all 3 of my trucks to different places and gave me different trucks, further burying me in packages.
The split line at the conveyor stopped splitting, and all the above, plus this made the packages just fall off the conveyors.
Add to that, all of my MFL sources got pulled d sent to the next truck. Who did the pulling? Me.
It was chaotic, and instead of moving laborers around, one of the supervisors came in and started handling one of my trucks. Eventually, i was stuck inside of one of my trucks, and had no way out, as packages kept taking up the dock that allowed me out.
Several guys who watched it happen told me to file 3 grievances, a process i am completely new to.
1 against the supervisor for not bringing in an additional laborer for the truck the supervisor handled themselves
1 for not telling us of the sources that were prelabeled
1 for not getting someone to remove the wall that blocked me in there.
Im just curious what everyone with an opinion feels about this.

happen on the preload all you can do is get paid by the hour and joke about it.
