[QUOTE="twoweeled, post: 2172362, member: 27108"] Not sure what your referring too, but I'll take a guess. Will a sup cut a pre loader, when a higher paid driver is going to end up doing the work the lower paid pre loader could have done? Yes he will. The higher paid driver is NOT on the payrol of pre load. The driver's hours are going on package operations. The pre loader is concerned with his payrol, by keeping hours down. He will pull preloaders and sorters off as quickly as he can. His day is done! Now "hours worked" are on package operation's payrol. Yes, we all know, everything is not always done to total completion, but that is what happens. You generally correct about the driver feeling he is only helping clean up loading. Whatever the reason given for staffing being light, is on management. There is an OLD joke that UPS likes to use as an excuse for everything. "It's all figured in". There will always be shortcomings throughout the day when delivering, but management's response to drivers, was: "It's all figured in". Well that same response goes for management too. Management has to plan for those problems. Most of us know, management runs tight on staffing. Managements choice! So when more than expected sick calls come in, they cry ignorance. Staffing is the sole responsibility of management. Any shortcomings on planning, falls entirely on management. That's, "Plain and simple". [/QUOTE]
