[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 149453, member: 4886"] Let me start with Question 2 first. So what you are saying is you are taking 2 unauthorized breaks every day (and getting paid for it) and you think you are being harrassed? Let's assume it is a 6 hr shift and you take a break half way thru the shift. If you hit the rest room before your shift and after your shift and on breaks you'd only have 3 hrs between going to the restroom. If you leave for the restroom twice more then you'd be hitting the restroom every 1.5 hrs. That is excessive. If the shift is only four hours long, which is normal for January time period, then it would work out to going to the restroom every hour. If you have a valid medical reason, then that's one thing and that is what the supervisor is asking for. Without a valid medical reason, if you are allowed to take 2 unauthorized breaks, shouldn't everyone in the building also get 2 unauthorized breaks also? Also, shouldn't every preloader in every building then get it. Shouldn't the drivers get more breaks also? As you can see, if UPS bends the rules for one person, then they get into trouble with the union since they don't bend the same rule for everyone. As far as your first question, what belt supervisor would want someone on a pull when they know they are leaving twice during the shift. Who covers for you? The supervisor, the person after you. No wonder they don't want you doing a pull. Up in my neck of the woods, seniority can only be used for start times a person can't bid on a particular pull or a particular job within the building, just the start time. [/QUOTE]
