[QUOTE="Seymour Packages, post: 4870298, member: 79252"] Taken from the Local 804 News bulletin spring 2021 magazine: Teamster Tips 1. Get Your Shop Steward If management is talking to you and asking questions that could in any way lead to discipline, ask for your Shop Steward and don't continue the conversation until the Shop Steward is there. 2. Do the Job Right Do the job the right way. Follow the methods. Don't cut corners to make a production number. The only production standard recognized by the contract is a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. Don't sweat the rest. 3. Work at a Sustainable Pace Working at UPS is a marathon, not a sprint. If you are running like a rabbit, your body will break down. On your last day before you retire, management will want the same numbers you produced today. Follow the methods and work at a sustainable pace. 4. Management Is Not Your Friend Management is not your friend. They are there for the paycheck. Some managers are bullies; some act nice. None of them care about you. They care about your production. To management, you're a number. You're disposable and replaceable. Never forget it. 5. Don't Share Personal Information With Management Don't share personal information about your life or family with management that they can use against you. If management knows you have taken on a mortgage or car loan, they can threaten to cut your overtime. If management knows about a personal problem, they can work you longer hours to mess with your home life. Don't give management leverage to use against you. [/QUOTE]
