[QUOTE="FrigidFTSup, post: 1769093, member: 58894"] I only touch packages when we get blown out because a union employee decided they wanted to stay out longer instead of coming back to the building and unloading by the designated time. I'm not going to hire someone to sit around all sort until the last 10 minutes when 10 drivers decide it's time to come in and I need them. The same drivers that push the limit refuse to unload their own truck. So guess who ends up having to do it? The one person who is sitting there twiddling their thumbs. Me. It isn't black and white. I don't walk into work thinking "Alright, I'm going to unload and load today, maybe bag some smalls." There are situations when you get surprised and you have no choice but to touch a package. Like last night. I planned for x volume like IE told me. Well, I got x volume +50%. Oh and one driver with 500 pieces showed up 15 minutes before pull time. We're small, I can't just absorb that kind of volume. I only touch packages when making service is a problem. I'm not stealing work from you or anybody. Because if the plan goes the way it's suppose to, I'm not touching anything. I don't want to touch a package. I've done enough of that, but sometimes I don't have a choice. Do I get the benefits?
