[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1768660"] idk about legal violations, but I look at it this way... Say the drivers I load for come in early and sort out their trucks while they're not supposed to be on the clock. Makes my job easier right? One less truck I have to deal with, so how on earth could that possibly bother me? Well, brother, first and foremost I have this job to make money. When my supervisor sees my drivers filling my pull, handling packages, loading trucks and/or just shooting the :censored: with one another, it becomes my supervisor's priority to get me off the clock as fast as :censored:ing possible with no regard for what I'd prefer to do, which is finish my job and get paid for every minute that it takes me to complete the work they give. A fair day's work for a fair day's pay, no? Unfortunately, and although we're all Teamsters, when a FTer comes in to do a PTer's work, the PTer tends to get the :censored:ing boot even though we get :censored: hours to begin with. That said, my drivers all come in early. I'm kind of a dick about my spot, though, and we've all figured out an arrangement where, if they're at their truck, they're inside that mother :censored:er and the supervisors can't see them without actually coming back into our area. More often than not, though, they come in, drop off their lunchboxes and other :censored: at their truck and dip out until after their PCM. and [B]that's[/B] how I prefer it. I work to work, not to let other people do the work I'm supposed to. As far as management working... it happens. If you don't like it, file a grievance. If you do like it, don't try to argue with super pro-union guys about how it helps you because that :censored: is contractually [B]not allowed[/B] except under several specific circumstances. Take the help from management, but don't think for a second that that's how this job is supposed to be. What [B]should[/B] be happening is, instead of management, they send another hourly to help out with the work. Don't have another hourly on the payroll? Well :censored:, man, looks like it's time to hire more people or start lettin' folks double-shift. [/QUOTE]
