[QUOTE="Astispumanti, post: 960801, member: 39975"] Amen. I totally agree with you. Our sup works sometimes when we are so short staffed that it wouldn't get done any other way. When as a woman and only being there 6 months I load 350/hr in three trucks, work the mis-sort slide and run the cart, I am thankful that he helps. Sometimes there are just two of us loading 7 to 8 trailers. The guys usually have the 4 trucks with the heaviest loads. I will help with one of them when I can, but two of my three take so much flow I can't get to my third sometimes. Of the top 4 trucks, after break you usually can't get out of one of them which leaves the other three with no one to load them. That's when my sup steps in. If it wasn't for him we would be screwed. I know it is a numbers game with the company-the fewer employees the better, that's why they can't keep anyone-they are killing us. I refuse to join the Union, not only is it WAY TOO MUCH MONEY but they are only out to help the full timers, screw the part-timers. None of us are willing to file on our sup because we know he is only trying to help and keep our safety in mind. All of you pro union people can just deal with my opinion because it is that and we all have them. And I agree with Dynomite, instead of filling get your butts in the trailer and help, spend a day in the trailer see what it's like. Yes you all have done your time, but things have changed in 30 years. With all of the online retail sales now, UPS is busting at the seams, but they are still running it with the same staff they did 20 years ago. All of you that have been out of the trailers for longer than 6 years have no idea how much volume is now running through the building, you only see what is in your delivery cars, wake up and watch the belts and see.
