[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 577983, member: 9789"] Kind of.... a manager has to ride with (unless this has changed in the last two years) the driver also and recommend the study. With all the advancements in technology there may be some things the IE group can do without getting on the car. Other posters have said that getting a time study is like pulling teeth. So, I would say it depends on the clout of the manager on whether or not you get a study. All I can speak for is my experience. If I requested a study, it was put on the calendar. Within a month the study took place. Here is another example.... I recommended against a study for a very influential shop steward. He just didn't have an allowance problem and he didn't have an over-allowed problem. I got on the car. My division manager know he could get this shop steward in his pocket with a favorable study. Guess what! He got a study and the allowance went up by 40 minutes. This is not my way of doing things but I was the pawn in this game. Of course this was 20 years ago and I think you won't see this happening too much any more. But the point is it has happened and could happen again! How did the steward react? The shop steward had a great attitude from that point forward and saw things from a more favorable point of view for UPS. But what do you think happened when he left that route... It dropped by 40 minutes of course. [/QUOTE]
