[QUOTE="BigBrownTown, post: 4962690, member: 60344"] Are you union? Yes? Then don't worry about a PPH. Load safely, follow the methods, and don't destroy your body. A steady, safe pace comes with experience. If you are the fastest worker then you will likely be pushed to do the most and the hardest work. They'll see you as an opportunity to get out more volume in less time = more bang for their buck. It is their job to worry about numbers and your job to load boxes, within YOUR OWN limitations. That being said you can be a good worker without loading like a maniac. Your body will thank you later. If you feel that your management is trying to harass or coerce you concerning your speed then contact your steward and CHSP cochair. Tell the CHSP that you are being asked to work beyond your limitations and tell the steward you would like to file an article 37. If you don't know what an article 37 is then get yourself a copy of the National Master Agreement. Also look into other pt positions that you might prefer and be eligible for as you gain seniority as loading/unloading is strenuous in and of itself. Unless you find that you truly love loading.
