[QUOTE="HubSnakeWrangler, post: 5643967, member: 80493"] I work in a hub that has 2 automated small sorts. One has about 15 inductors to put pkgs on to tilt tray. The other has 4-6 employees to space and ensure smalls labels are up/out or at least not facing down so system can sort by itself. Both have bag handlers to put label on nylon bags and return to load belt. When the new automation began a lot of us higher seniority employees complained about doing the "harder work" 😆 Went before BA/Labor manager and both ss systems were deemed Hub general work. Meaning as long as the work related to the ss operation there was no contractual guarantee to abide by seniority in moving employees around. In my experience most supes honor seniority when staffing areas but it's not a grievance the union will fight vigorously for. Like others said, when I get placed in a smalls trailer to either unload empty nylon bags or bricked out smalls trailer I work to best of my ability until they get aggravated and cut me to go home. 😆 [/QUOTE]
