If it did not start yet, how can anyone be as you say, "volunteered"?
Volunteer was being sarcastic. At my location, not enough new hires and real volunteers. So.. the Saturday staffing was done by seniority.
It's no big deal, was curious more than anything.

And how else do the packages get taken out of the trailers and sorted to the right belt to be loaded(hopefully) into the right package car.

The primary sort takes the packages off of the pkg cars and sorts them to the right trailer(s).

Sounds more like the twilight sort. Of course I also work in a Hub with 3 Feeder sorts and a preload.
At my hub, during the Primary sort, We unload the trailers, packages are ran through system and ultimately, loaded into the package cars.
For our Saturday sort, we are going to have unloaders, sorters, slide workers, and package car loaders. Basically full staff, just like any other day.

Is it a preload operation or are they saying it is extra work and anyone with high seniority can work it.

Never mention of that at my hub... supposed to only affect preload and drivers
Seniority people can asked to be put on the "on call" list. If Saturday shift needs help (calls in, sick, etc..) the people on the "on call" list will be called in. Like wise for Tu-Sat shifters. If Monday Primary needs help, people on the "on call" list for Monday, will be called in to work.
Worked my first Saturday shift. Light volume. Only half doors working. Nice easy pace, compared normal M-friend days. Not bad at all.
Can't drink too much on Friday evening though. Just had some happy hour drinks after my full time job, because I didn't know what to expect for Saturday.
Bottom line, Saturday work was "easy peasey."

IE boogeyman
there is no such thing as a primary sort, what @UpstateNYUPSer was referring to is the work area that works off the Primary belt (the belt that the unload, SPA, and sorters work with)
generally the unload/SPA/sort area is referred to as the primary, regardless of shift
Dude, I think everyone knows what I meant.

Think it'll stay that way beyond the pilot phase, eh?
