[QUOTE="Been In Brown Too Long, post: 3721044, member: 32249"] I'm an old guy, and no they are not trying to help you. They are trying to make a number the upper management has asked for, and they can't make that number with the number of employees currently being used. You are stacked out because of management in the first place! More work, less employees, less time...that's their objective. The contract specifies that management is there to manage, not do bargaining unit work. Under your scenario, what would stop UPS from just hiring more people, call them managers, let them do all the work, and eliminate your job. If you've worked for UPS for a year, and haven't seen in your head what it would be like to work there without union protections, then you haven't been very observant. The union's responsibility is to protect and grow union jobs. That work that your part time supe is doing, is effectively eliminating another union job, or cutting hours of one of your fellow Teamsters. If you don't get that, you don't get the concept of a union at all. [/QUOTE]
