[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3864118, member: 14176"] So. the Company "[I]tries[/I]" to hire (for peanuts) and can't retain seasonal employees and that somehow entitles them to work supervisors??? Maybe if they paid better.... I say they do it by design, year round, and if the Union was smart they would assess every supervisor working to pay dues for the month and initiation fees. Again, the need for "double shifting" screams understaffed and is not grounds for accepting the Company violating the Contract by working the army of part time supervisors that they keep on hand for just such occasions. Make them pay dues for the month and initiation fees. This one is my favorite. Where does the Company (and you) get off expecting a "part time employee" to accommodate full time (and then some) expectations for a month and half out of the year. Not only is this typically excruciatingly hard work to perform for 4 hours let alone 8 or more with only a ten minute break, it is also implied by definition of the term "part time" that these employees may have other interests and commitments outside of UPS. These include school, other jobs, and parental responsibilities to name a few. If the Company wants full time commitment from hub employees, they can create more 22.3 positions, until then they can consider supervisor working grievances the cost of doing business within their deficient, part time worker business model they exploit year round by supplementing supervisors doing our work. Stop making weak excuses for the Company and start collecting dues and initiation fees when supervisors do bargaining unit work. ~Bbbl~™ [/QUOTE]
