Hi all. I have a question about if seniority comes into play when deciding who does pickoff on a belt. I have worked for UPS for 9 months, but was moved to my current belt 2 months ago. I just recently passed the pickoff test, and would now obviously rather do pickoff than load a trailer. There are three other people on my belt, who have each worked for UPS 4, 3, and 2 months respectively; the current individual doing pickoff is the one who has worked there 4 months.
My supervisor recently told me that "seniority does not come into play when deciding who does pickoff. The supervisor decides who they want to do pickoff." This means an individual who has worked at UPS 5 months less than me is going to continue to do pickoff, while I "occasionally get rotated in" on certain nights.
Is this accurate or fair? Does seniority not matter at all in this situation? I am in the Western region if that matters at all.
