We had to wait 4 hours one time for a union guy to show up and move a truck 15 feet so we could access a door. When I offered to move it I was told I would be fired and possibly sued if I did. He made 3.5 hours of OT that day for 1 minute of actual work.
The only thing that saved my bacon was I was young, female and a new hire from another part of the country. I cried. Saved my job.
I’d already waited two WEEKS for them to move my computer to the new work area for my group. They’d ‘forgotten’ it (and a bunch of other stuff besides) when they moved ‘everything’ the first time. I’d gotten tired of walking back and forth across a corporate ‘cubeland’ warehouse every time I needed to use my computer.
Oh, and the icing on the cake. The guy who was SUPPOSED to move my computer still billed for moving it. It was the ‘plea deal’ of some sort corporate did with the union for my misdeed. Union wanted me fired on the spot. Guy billed 4 hrs for moving 1 computer and a printer across a building. It had taken me a whole 10m to do it.
