[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 987026, member: 4886"] If the company invests millions of dollars in physical plant equipment (UNL-18's) for example and the production in the unload goes up. Should the unloaders make more money? When UPS spent billions of dollars on worldport and invested in automation to improve efficiency and production, does that mean that the worldport employees should now make more money because they are more efficient? When UPS invested in new aircraft that reduced the overall fuel consumption and needed only 2 crewmembers instead of 3. Should the remaining pilots pay have gone up? My point is some production increases is from our people working harder\smarter. Some production increases is due to investment in technology and hardware. Not all productivity gains is directly attributable to sacrifices by the employee. [/QUOTE]
