[QUOTE="ok2bclever, post: 59060"] Obviously there are pluses to the company with a successful PAS system and that is a good thing in many ways such as in competing economically with the costs of competition. However, the truth is the pluses to the workforce are a bit more mixed knowing that anything that makes the worker's job simpler or quicker at UPS means more actual physical work in a job that already is very physical. It stands to reason if this improves the preloader's efficiency they will cut the amount of preloaders rather than getting them chairs [img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/thumbsup.gif[/img] and those working will gain more routes, ie: they will lift, load, move, handle more packages, hence more weight, etc. So be it,but saying it will make the preloader's job easier is a misnomer. [img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/biggrin.gif[/img] The wage issue is separate concern. Article 22, Section 5, Subsection (b) of the National Master United Parcel Service Agreement states Preloader/Sorter get a dollar more per hour than all others. Technically there is no such thing as "grandfathering" and the legal/contractual term is "past practice", but why would such be even an issue here? The wage issue states Preloader/Sorter. It doesn't state if they are "skilled" positions. Have no stewards in current PAS centers grieved this issue regarding not paying new preloaders the additional dollar?!? If it has to wait for my centers to get PAS so be it I will grieve it, but I cannot believe this hasn't been grieved by a steward somewhere! Anyone have any information regarding this wage issue/contention and is this policy/wage separation action happening elsewhere as well? [/QUOTE]
