[QUOTE="Justaloader, post: 4241374, member: 77989"] Pennsylvania. I’ve already figured out who in my building knows their ass from a hole in the ground, and who doesn’t - aka I know who to listen to. So, knowing my start time isn’t a problem. Always an excuse? Is that the case, or are you really naive and think the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” approach works for everyone in every situation? Mind you, I’m not making excuses. I’m merely stating the way things are. Not sure how your location is run or how you were treated as a new hire, but here in my hub - beyond being shown how to make a wall out of boxes the UPS way and signing a document that means you understand what isn’t tolerated on UPS premises (oh, and a dvd about the various hazmat labels), we weren’t told :censored:. The only reason I know what’s in the Union contract, who my steward is, and, in a general sense - how “most” things work in my building - is because I’m a naturally inquisitive person and like to ask a lot of questions. I research things on the internet (how I found this site). Not everyone is like that. Hell every job I’ve had in my 38 years has had an employee handbook, safety manual, and other literature.

I have no idea what he will and won’t fight for. I met the guy once, for all of literally 3 minutes because he had to get back to work loading on the airwall. He may be a good guy - I don’t know.
