[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4109953, member: 76548"] I have never thrown a preloader under the bus one single time - that's :censored:ing low. To possibly subject another union brother or sister to discipline purposely is suspect. I immediately question the character of someone who does this. I've never even hit "No" when the "was your load quality acceptable" question comes up at the end of the day. If it wasn't, I'll mention it to the loader, with an explanation of how it could have been improved upon, with the caveat that I know they're under a time crunch. If I have mentioned a bad load in a conversation with the on road or dispatch during the day, I always preface it with "there's no need to bust this kid's balls" or something to that extent, but this is what the deal was with my load and why I'm behind. If anything, I usually blame the load on the dispatch - say he should know better. This narcing on fellow teamsters :censored: at UPS is an epidemic. I don't get it. We're grown men and women, we can have face to face conversations to bring up issues, without involving 'mom and dad' so to speak. We don't need management to arbitrate and police every matter between two union employees, and potentially bring discipline upon one another, and I'm sure management is in agreement with this statement - they've got better things to do than moderate petty disputes between union brothers and sisters. Talk to your loader or the driver you're having some issue with. You will find out that they're not mad about it, they're happy you brought it to them, and they're willing to work with you to the satisfaction of both parties. Simple :censored:, folks. We are adults. [/QUOTE]
