Supervisors working

UnconTROLLed

I'm STILL at the bottom rate for part timers, after 3 years with the company, due to the last contract's raise structure. So don't get me as someone who liked this last contract, or how it all got shoved through.

But get real. This is not a minimum wage job. Starting rate, at least for my local is 14 an hour. That's not minimum wage.

My local doesn't have anywhere near $600 initiation fees.

The union has issues, I'm not contesting that. Especially in some locals.
But everyone employed at UPS either has a good job, or could get a good job if they stay with the company, and move up the bid sheet. Period.

I said his apathy towards the union was "a big part", not "the whole part".
Keep in mind that sword cuts both ways. In some areas you are correct, it's not a min. wage job, it's less.

Calm down honey

Your words not mine

No :censored2:. A fact that is blatantly obvious to anyone with the capacity to see the post, see that I posted it, and can then put two and two together. Can’t get anything past you!

Lol you must be special. Again - I’m a new hire. No option for me to be union until the 30 day window is up. Not like I could walk in on day one, pay my dues, and be good to go. Nope. Had to wait 30 days. As I’ve said, this week was the first time they took dues from my pay. Guess that means I’m union now (will confirm with Hr in about 20 minutes when I arrive at the building).
It’s not like I’ve been here for years and opted out of joining the union.
You understand yet, or is it still vague?

Forgive me for noticing things at work and being smart / resourceful enough to look into them (questioning why sups do union work if they aren’t union, deciding if them helping is a good thing or a bad thing, deciding if filing a complaint is justified and worth while once becoming eligible to do so).

Give it to me Baby
Local 391 has now agreed to allow sups working. Doing full routes and loading trucks. Our great union at work making sure their members(sups) get plenty of work.
Hate seeing sups working
I always say something to them about it
If I am really in a bad mood I will file just for the hell of it
They always have an excuse but they need to be called out on it

Totally agree
I show up 2 minutes before my start time everyday and still see enough to file
So far this year I have made an extra $500 just watching sups unloading at the air station
You have to call them out on it

My understanding locally:The union and UPS made a deal in our building on jam breaking. No more grievances, UPS could use as many jam breakers"" as they want so long as four? hourlies were jam breaking. This is a large hub, it often needs 20. Heh

There are still grievances if the company doesn't follow the agreement. There have been numerous grievances paid for supervisors breaking jams. Once again Troll doesn't tell the whole TRUTH.

I find that hard to believe. Did you see it in writing ?

Nah....

On the napkins at the buffet. Had to start over a few times, it was wing night.
Cool- you actually have a sense of humor. But please don't pretend that these "arrangements" aren't made that allow the company to do as they please. Perhaps it doesn't happen in your neck of the woods but it is a normal thing in these parts. And then people wonder why the workers tend to give up on believing in the union. There really are two sides to most coins.
