[QUOTE="Macbrother, post: 1016340, member: 42759"] This is how it works in my building. Supposedly there is a "corporate standard" misload frequency of 1/5000. As long as you are better than the frequency, they cannot discipline you. Of course this is an absurdly high number but it is doable. Now, as to bad PAL's, doubles, flipped labels, and so on, even per corporate misload reduction training, you are only instructed to check one out of every five packages to make sure the address of the PAL is the same as the UPS label, so if they discipline you for this it's an easy grievance. They don't even attempt to write you up for this at my center. While yes, you technically could've gone above and beyond the call of duty and verified every PAL label, this is just not feasible under current production standards, management knows this, and this is technically the fault of either the scanner in the back or dispatch. Now, as for termination to misloads. According to my union guy, it's virtually possible to get fired for misloads alone. I've only seen two preloaders fired in my tenure and both of them had numerous late days, no call/no shows, and the like. They will however harass you, give you progressive disciplines (warnings, Pittsburgh forms, up to and including suspensions, etc). [/QUOTE]
