Is full time sup a wasted position at UPS?

[Jackburton]

All I ever see these guys doing is messing about or yelling at the new hires because they know they can't fight back before they hit union.

God forbid they ever lifted a package for Christ sake.

Seems like they could save a load of cash by just wiping the whole position out.

No, someone's gotta be the scapegoat for both sides when the hits the fan.

They aren't bad everywhere. My hub they are actually all pretty decent people. I don't trust them but they are capable of showing compassion and being decent human beings, now managers are who I despise. You can tell everything that comes out of their mouth is robotic, and straight out of the management hand book.

Would you file a grievance for them touching a package?

Touching a package isn't a problem. What they do with the package might be. Are they loading, or are they investigating why a package is at that part of the facility? There's many reasons supervisors can handle packages, the main issue is are they progressing the package.

Would you grieve a supervisor for touching a package by handing it to an hourly and telling them to take it somewhere?
