[QUOTE="vin, post: 185085, member: 9475"] If he wants extra time and has more seniority than most others on the shift then he should be able to get the extra time. After the unload is down he can go to the outbounds to help with bulk, do wraps, etc., if he is not "qualified" to load. When I first started, I went to help the other belts all the time after my area was done. There was always one area or another that needed help. They were just happy to get help whether or not the person was actually trained how to load. After a while I moved to the sort aisle although I would still go to help the outbounds at the end of the night if they needed the help. However, a few years ago they started something different, where they would not let someone from one area go to another area unless that area requested help. This meant that since I was working in the primary, I could not go to help the outbounds except in very rare cases even though I was trained how to load. I along with the union steward argued that there was only 1 seniority list for the shift, each area did not have its own list. The only recourse I had was to file a grievance, which I did and won several, although most were for 30 minutes or less. If the guy really wants more time, he may have a harder time than I did since I was trained to load first, and then moved to the unload and sort aisle, but he should still be able to get something. Have him talk to the steward and see what he suggests. [/QUOTE]
