I’m an unloader/worked there for 3 months
So, this happened Last Friday:
I was unloading (I’m a part timer with seniority) and near the end of my shift, I felt discomfort in my wrist. I told FT supervisor and he told me to talk to safety. I told them that this was on the clock and that i had Informed FT sup. They said that they could have me switch to an easier position.
I agree.
Following up this past Monday: safety tells me that if I wanted to switch out of unload, I said yes. They expressed their concern for me to FT sup because they don’t have the power to switch me; a FT sup does.
TUESDAY:
I tell sup in the middle of my shift about wrist AGAIN and he said “Well, you’re going to use your wrist in the building soo..” (Meaning, he REFUSED to switch me) It’s not the fact that I’m using my wrist, it’s the amount of strain I put on it. I go to safety after that and they tell me the same thing, but they also added that they were going to have me do something easier next day
FRIDAY:
(yesterday)(here’s the kicker)
All the PT supervisors had me tape because the FT sup had told them about my case. Near the end of my shift he sees me taping and asks me if I had unloaded; I said no I’ve been taping. He then says:”Well if your wrist isn’t feeling better THEN YOU CAN GO HOME, SEE YOU ON MONDAY” in such a direct way. Note: I had only been working for 2 hours and 36 minutes that night so I went to safety for the 3rd TIME, and told them that I am GUARANTEED 3.5 HOURS OF WORK. They agree and had me handle smalls and totes.
What I’m planning to do:
Show up Monday, ask FT sup for the final time to get out unload. If not, I’m going to file an accident report anyways because I DID NOTIFY FT SUP on Friday and it in fact was on the clock. I also plan to speak with the sort manager to see if he can override FT sup decision.
TLDR: Wrist discomfort a week ago, notified sup and safety, sup refuses to move me out of unload after notifying him TWICE and tried to send me home early without guaranteed hours. Safety had me do easy work meanwhile.
So what do you guys recommend?
Please, I need help; I’m trusting you guys because I’m new and I don’t want to be “another victim who got taken advantage of”
Thanks in advance
