[QUOTE="Rack em, post: 2514159, member: 60861"] Quit showing up early and working for free. If you have to come in early then don't do any union work until you are getting paid to do so. You can ask your supervisor if they want to punch you in and you can help out, but if they decline then wait until your start time. You are entitled to your PAID break at a certain time. So you can stand, sit, or lay down on your break and they can't do a thing about it. Saying you can take your break but not sit down is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of! Take your break when it's allotted and SIT DOWN next time right in front of the :censored:y FT sup. If they say anything to you about sitting down, calmly explain to them you are on your paid break which is YOUR personal time. If they keep bothering you while on break or tell you that you can't sit down to rest your body, then inform them you will be talking to your steward and filing a harassment grievance the first thing once the sort is over. I'm dead serious! And any other time if you need just a quick breather, even if it's for 30 seconds, you need to stop and rest your body. You are a person not a robot, and if they ask what you're doing just tell them "I was working as fast as I [B]safely [/B]could and need a few moments to catch my breath." You have nothing to worry about, you will not get fired over something this trivial. You sound like an awesome employee and the type of people we need to have working with us. But you need to quit working for free because if you give ups an inch they will take a mile. I think you can come to that conclusion after this post how you donate your time and help ups out, but then after sitting down for 10 seconds they are screaming at you... [/QUOTE]
