[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 325745"] there is nothing in the contract about misloads so don't bother looking. How its absence is interpreted is up in the air. By that I mean since it doesn't say they can't discipline you for such and such a thing, theres nothing stopping them from doing so. However on the other side, since theres nothing in the contract on it there's no reason to say that the union will recognize/allow such discipline. The only way I think they could make it stick is failure to work as directed (which can be interpreted in a great many ways). I'm not going to say what is and what isn't an acceptable figure for misloads. Obviously the goal is as few as possible, but everyone makes mistakes. The people who won't admit and/or come to terms with that simple fact are whats causing the discipline push lately. This too has become a big thing in our center lately. If these people can successfully load 1000+ peices in 3.5 hours (285+ pph btw), PALS pulled, sequential order, no stacking for a week (not a day, anyone can make it look easy if they know its just for a day) and not have any misloads, then at least their demands will be credible. However you and I both know that will never happen. I have seen one such person try and fail miserably. Don't think ever loader didn't know about it by the end of the following day. Credibility is supposed to be one of our core values. Holding people to standards that people who come up with said standards cannot do hardly demonstrates that. [/QUOTE]
