PAS is the big thing UPS is implementing throughout the country and just wondered how things were going at other UPS buildings.
Our building took a long time for PAS to come through, they said it was going to come in 2005 and it didn't make it fully till fall of 2007. Supervision said that with PAS the preload will have to take 15-20mins more because of this new system. They were to slow down the belts and processing rates. They did do that. But now it seems like they have changed their minds, and in our buildings, the rates and speeds are up and the starting time is later but yet we have more volume. It doesn't make sense. Now we have more packages left behind, and more egress problems. Is anyone else having these problems?
Also with this new PAS they moved all the older preloaders like thirty-forty year olds to SPA stations. For high seniority parttimers, like myself, Ive had 2 traumatic back injuries and I can't keep up and put everything in order. And Im having egress problems regularly. How do you combat people even coworkers that yell for you to turn on the belt? Its just im the only union member on the belt the rest are young guys who just want to get out of there and are yes sir where can i sign kind of guys. How is PAS at your facilities?
