The BM at my local must have made some kind of deal with the higher up supes at my building. The BM is allowing mgmt to lift over 70s with employees. Even though there is an article in the contract dealing with this issue directly. Its pretty cut and dry, its contract violation.
The reasons the company gave its because its a courtesy to help with over 70s so 1. we dont get injured. and 2 we dont get fired. Although myself, I do not lift over 70s but for other people that do they wont get written up for it now.
Its so obvious this is a way of means to get production higher because what happens, over 70s in the areas around me sit on the ground until the sort is almost done and then we wrap up when theres people down on the ground available to handle over 70s with hourlies.
Is this happening any where else?
Should I file and go around the BM?
