I’ve got a management problem/ question…
I work on a preload and I’m in charge of all the bulk stops in our building. Just so we’re all on the same page bulk stops are accounts like Amazon and the GAP; accounts that sometimes fill up a trailer but are all one stop. Basically, the five people on my belt load these trailers like HUB loads.
My problem is, I was given a new hire a few months ago to replace someone who quit. The new hire is a woman and she has a very difficult time doing the job. I tried to disqualify her for not being able to do the job, but my manager said “we can’t have the turnover, make her successful.” I’ve been working with her but she still is a drag on the whole belt. I also have the added problem of the other guys on the belt getting angry at me for making them pick up her slack with Irregs and stuff.
Any suggestions? Union people, have this ever happened to you? Is there something in the contract that I can use to move her away from my area?
P.S. This is my first post!
