[QUOTE="soberups, post: 374678, member: 14668"] The intention of the contract language is to prevent the company from using management people to do bargaining unit work, thereby protecting that work. Without such language, UPS would simly hire a bunch of minimum wage "supervisors" to do the work for less, and the union employees would face lost overtime or layoffs. There are circumstances where it is acceptable for a management person to do bargaining unit work. If an employee is injured, and packages are going to miss service, a supervisor can do what is necessary to prevent the service failures as long as a good faith effort is made to give the work to an hourly employee if possible. The union rep isnt your boss and he cant tell you what to do. What he can do is file a grievance for the bargaining unit to be made whole if he sees you doing work. Depending upon the cirumstances, you could argue your case at the grievance hearing. If you lose, then the most senior employee on duty that day will be paid for the hours you worked. If you win, then nothing happens. If you find yourself in a situation where you feel it is imperative to do some work, then document the reasons for it and be prepared to pay an hourly for the time.
