[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 671184, member: 4816"] :happy2:A true story that helped me greatly through my 36 years at Ups. In the mid 70's I was in my twenties and as a young supervisor -I was put in charge of a fulltime preload in the strong Ron Carey Local 804 area. In those years the full time Preloads ran from 10:00 pm to 9:00 am--tough hours. At the time America was suffering with "Hong Kong Flu" I caught the flu very bad but went into work because I did not want to screw a day supervisor who would have been forced to double shift. The Fulltime Preloader's in their late forties and fifties had many more years experience than I did. A tough Union Steward-His name was Jamie --saw how sick I was --took me into the Empty managers office and told me to go to sleep --I objected and told Jamie I could not do that --He insisted --He told me he would run the sort and do his job. The next morning the Preload was finished early --with all the splits made and the cars washed and closed. Jamie with a big handshake and a big smile --asked me not to tell the union nor upper mgmt what he and the crew had done. I loved working with those experienced people and the "life" lessons served me well. Wherever you are Jamie ---A very Sincere Thank You again !!!:happy2: I believe I learned more from him than any mgmt school UPS sent me to!!!! [/QUOTE]
