New York Public Library Collection Processing Assistant II reviews

The pay is minimum wage, the union is useless, there needs to be a full overhaul for jobs titles and salaries.

-I believe truck drivers get a bonus check for heavy lifting, seems like something that is needed here -Takes long to replace equipment, the sorter has shut down multiple times -Speaking of equipment this place barely had hand trucks when I first arrived and this is a logistics department -If staff leaves it takes long to replace them -This department and the drivers had to work full-time during covid by August, everyone else was remote or on an A/B schedule (3 days one week and 2 days the next week). Some people continued getting payed on days they didn't work. This department was treated so essential during covid but nothing about the compensation reflected that. We are essential to bring in full-time during covid but when we had an employee leave it wasn't essential to replace him. -Even if they provided PPE during covid, this job is still a hazard. It is an assembly style job , social distancing is not always possible. -Pallets sent from dock aren't wrapped with anything, can be wobbly and on a few occasions have sent stacks falling on the floor
