[QUOTE="WinsiDildy, post: 2592703, member: 63549"] This person may think they're helping you...but they aren't. If your work area is not safe, go find your safety committee's concerns log and write the mechanical defaults in your area. If there aren't any - then it's unsafe because of you. Egress as a safety concern is your responsibility. Lifting and Lowering, Slips and Falls, Pushing and Pulling, that is all on you. Management trains, Union uses. I've been around three years. If I wanted to, I could walk around my building and discipline people left and right for not following the eight keys to L&L. I don't, because that's stupid and counterproductive. I've tried talking to people and it doesn't work 99% of the time. UPSers are stubborn ass holes most of the time - both management and union. Don't be just another :censored: :censored:ting on the problem. Worry about yourself and taking care of your problems. I don't believe you have to sign the misload sheets, but filing on a supervisor for loading your irreg's seems crappy. Ask them first why they are doing it - there are a few supervisors out there who are doing it as preventative safety maintenance. I know I used to when I was in operations. When my guys had egress problems from irregs, I would clear/organize the slides for them. I had other :censored: to be doing, but I wanted them to know I was working hard WITH and FOR them. If it was a slow day, low volume, we were easily going to accomplish downtime, or if I saw someone was struggling and having an off day, then I'd always jump in the trailer and unload with them for a few minutes. Talk to them, see if I could figure out what was going on, maybe move a double up over there with them if I found out something pertinent to their physical condition (maybe they are sore because their other job is pouring concrete, or they are an athlete and had a competition the night before...etc). Work with your supervisor. If they are incapable of working WITH you, then you should resort to filing. But don't make yourself out to be a problem as a means of being possessive of your 'work'. The supervisor working grievances really should be reserved for operations/sorts that are habitual offenders of having the plan that supervisors will work certain areas regardless of attendance/staffing issues. Also, don't be selfish as a worker. Help your coworkers, not only in your area, but all around the building. Yes, supervisors ARE your coworkers too. [/QUOTE]
