[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 144525, member: 198"] I've only been at UPS 8 years but I learned in the beginning that my paycheck never went up or down when a sup works. I remember the first week on the job all the die hard union women in smalls kept telling me to file when ever I see a sup touching packages in smalls or anywhere in the hub because they are stealing work from me when they do. I quickly came to the conclusion that I wouldn't really have the right or any justification in filing. The reason being that If I'm working up in smalls and a sup is working somewhere else then how do I have a right to complain? It's not like I can do my job in smalls and do whatever job they were doing at the same time. Most people that file for sups working are only doing so because they just want something for nothing ($$) and because they can't stand management. The supervisors not working rule was intended to keep UPS from replacing hourly employees to save money and to keep them from using sups to delay, or avoid, creating new jobs. The rule wasn't intended to be a free money dispensory for angry union employees. That feeder driver should have offered to help or kept his mouth shut. The only reason he would have a right to complain would have been if that sup had been helping move packages like that every night and enough to justifiy hiring another hourly employee. Otherwise...it's nothing. I'll never file for sups working unless they are purposley working to avoid using hourly people. Most of the time they just pitch in for a few minutes and if it is longer it is because some of our "brothers" that file for supervisors working don't bother to show up on the days they aren't filing. How ironic. [/QUOTE]
