Now that would be derogatory.The Help?
Article 37 requires Management to treat "employees with dignity and respect at all times." That means referring to employees by their name, or by their job title, (sorter, preloader, etc.,) or by their revelant status (part-time, full-time, Local Sort, etc.,) depending on the situation.I am curious why that is derogatory. I am salaried and that never has bothered me nor hourly when I was one.
These two terms are a universal (not specific to UPS) way of replying to whether a person is paid a salary regardless of hours worked or whether they get paid by the number of hours worked.
It has nothing to do with whether a person is in the Union or not. Non-Union hourly employees are referred to as hourly as well.

Except perhaps in the Payroll Department, there is almost never a situation where an employee is to be referred to by his payroll method.
Chinese workers didn't like to be called Coolies. Dark skined people don't appreciate being called Darkies. A hard-working husband doesn't like to learn his spoiled, high-maintenance wife calls him "my Meal Ticket." And I'm sure low-level Supervisors and Managers wouldn't like upper Management or especially "Hourlies" calling them "the Saleried Help." It's demeaning.

And finally, to state the obvious: So-called "hourlies" don't even get paid by the hour. We get paid by the minute, (one sixtieth of an hour,) or by the timeclock "click," (one one-hundredth of an hour.)
