[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 144628, member: 1957"] I see supes working every night in the hub. They are either clearing jams, loading trailers, moving missorts or the usual other activities. The excuse is always like, "we are short handed", or "I'm training" or "to prevent a delay" or anything else they can pull out of their lower extremities. The company does this for a number of reasons: 1) it's a jab at the union, the contract and organized labor; 2) it indoctrinates and brain washes the poor PT supes that are working harder now than when they were hourly; 3) it helps make the PT supes numbers look good (see #2); 4) it keeps the environment in a constant state of upheaval; 5) it perpetuates the "us versus them" mentality (see #4) 6) it reinforces the PT supes self esteem. The company knows it's cheaper to pay a grievance than to hire another PT'er or two so.......keep filing. I don't think the agreed upon contract says "supes can work every once in a while" I think it says, to the effect, that supes will not work.......that's why they are called "supes". [/QUOTE]
