WRONG. Management is to use union labor for ALL work inside.
Get with the drivers and have an ‘extra work’ sheet posted for drivers to volunteer for assisting preload up to 2hrs early or local sort for up to 2 hours after.
I bet a lot of buildings let PT & FT supervisors set up for the shift and set up scanners, roller lines, etc. That’s a breach of contract and can be grieved under supervisors working.

No package routes in this building. Feeder hub only.

Exactly what I was going to say.
Good luck getting feeder drivers to come in 2 hours early and work a sort...

Look at your supplement? Central PA has a ‘Work as Directed’ article for feeder drivers. The last building manager tried to threaten with gross insubordination when I refused to do something, said working as directed is in the contract. He didn’t believe me when I said it is worded for feeder drivers, not package/inside work.
Heck, feeder drivers aren’t even aware of it and when I tell/show them they’re shocked... but they don’t have to worry about it being imposed because management is/plays dumb when it comes to the contract.
You better have 911 on speed dial if you try and make some these guys do any manual labor.

Plattsburgh??UPS strategically locates its hubs by densely populated slums. Constant stream of cheap labor. This apartment complex is located down the street from my center.

Job's not bad after a year and two.
Better healthcare, better funded pension than the FTers here, can pick any 2 weeks on the calendar for vacation.
Double shifting has been available for most of the year.

I could see that happening in rural areas of the USA.
Probably not in the urban cesspools.

I have seen Feeder drivers walk by a delivery driver struggling with an oversize or overweight package. Said their hands are not made to handle packages. Could you imagine what they would say about working a PT sort.

Can you imagine what management will say when a feeder driver who is shrink wrapped in polyester, sweating balls working the sort and then...guess what...falls asleep during his drive back to his hub and kills someone?
I'm sure the opposing attorney would love it...

A 300 lb Feeder driver shrink wrapped in polyester watching a PT sup working the sort.
The real danger is the feeder driver going with a heart attack and/or a stroke within a couple minutes of breaking a sweat..
