[QUOTE="imabrownone, post: 751691, member: 29697"] Why?! Part time sups (PTS) are lodged quite firmly between a rock and a hard place. Overseeing an operation where their staff makes twice the money they do and who know the PTS doesn't have anything remotely resembling the authority that the title "supervisor" implies. Reminded not to perform bargain work *wink* *wink* "know your audience" and then purposely understaffed (no need for another hourly when we can use you) and pressured to motivate! motivate! motivate! union workers some of who have nothing close to a sense of urgency (I get paid by the hour, not the package.) Salary?! A PT's check stub states "hourly rate" 'hours worked" and "guarantee". A discretionary day is labled as "sick pay." Sounds like an hourly employee to me. And of course there's nothing like a good dose of public shaming as a PTS gets walked out for not crossing a "t" or dotting an "i". Why don't we just lock them in the stocks and throw rotten food at them all the while screaming rude and disrespectful remarks until they have not a shred of dignity left. Or better yet, let's hold the PTS accountable for the PPH, hold them personally responsible for the safety of their staff, and then reward the union workers for sending packages to their proper destination. Isn't that what they get paid for in the first place? I can't fathom why people would prefer to load/unload at a part time supervisor's pay rate when they can remain union and do less for more.
