[QUOTE="jack4ever, post: 366649, member: 15968"] A system they call PAS was just installed at the center where I work, to assist preloaders. As I read the contract the Preloader pay rate is $1.00/hr more than the regular rate. Management is saying that Preloading is no longer a skilled job because of PAS. They said that those with the extra dollar get to keep it, but those moving into preloading won't get the dollar. As I read the contract, it doesn't say anything about skilled or unskilled positions, it just says that the Preloader rate is $1.00/hr more. I work on the Local sort, so it doesn't really affect me anyway, but one of the guys I work with wants to make more money, and he thought he could become a preloader to do so, but our friend/T supe said that he can't get the dollar any more since PAS was installed. Is it really true that PAS should affect the pay rate? I suppose UPS might be interpreting the agreement in their own way, and changing the job description from "Preloader" to "Loader" (on account of PAS). Does the contract spell out what a "Preloader" is? I assumed it meant the guys that load the package cars, but if they aren't getting a pay increase they must just be regular loaders. Is this something a preloader could take to the union to get the extra dollar? Any information would be helpful. Regards, Jack [/QUOTE]
