[QUOTE="Dark_Team_135, post: 722719, member: 17242"] I would say if it amounts to pushing a single package and that takes care of the problem then it isn't a big deal. Here we have the problem of supervisors pushing volume into trailers for the majority of the night which is definitely advancing packages (and we used to have Union employees doing it). The problem in that case isn't really a jam but a design issue where a wide belt feeds into a narrow chute and when the flow becomes too heavy the packages hang up at the pinch points. I usually tell a supervisor that if you spend more than a few seconds breaking a jam (and I don't mean a few seconds continuously all sort long!), then it becomes bargaining unit work since we have Union jam breakers for that job.
