[QUOTE="Macbrother, post: 1037375, member: 42759"] I sort at the top of our belt, so when the belt's off, me and my fellow sorter are the ones that are going to get hit the worst, so I know all too well the consequences but sometimes it necessary. If I have 6 50 lb paper boxes coming at once and they are already past me, for instance, cutting off the belt and getting them in the truck is far more efficient than dragging them all the way back one at a time. As long as we see someone is busting their ass and not loafing around I'd never hold turning off the belt against them. It's simply a necessary evil under current production standards. A supervisor loading a truck is a textbook grievance, management cannot do union work per the contract, this is spelled out very clearly. This is a classic case of the center trying to do with less, make them pay. By the way if some bloke blows smoke up your ass about production standards don't worry about it, they are not enforceable; just be on time, focus on misload reduction and do a fair day's work.
