[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 406977, member: 10234"] Not asking anyone to "work down" to a time allowance. Just stating that it was that way where I previously worked. Unless, of course, you wanted to incur the wrath of the union. Didn't say it was right and I hated it. But, the company was stuck with it and production suffered because of it. In the long run, the employee suffered also because the plant closed and moved to the south where there was no union. On the other hand, at Ups we have a system where the standards change with the implementation of every little thing. It's sort of like all the add-ons to your car that are suppose to help improve mileage. If you put all of them on, you shouldn't even have to put gas in it. That is the way I feel about the standards. They start out with overly optomistic numbers and keep piling them on. We probably should be done before we even leave the building (Well, not yet but it's getting there). Basically, what it means is....if you don't recognize standards, the company can make them whatever they want and that is how you will be dispatched. It's a sticky situation. And whichever way you go with it, there will be drawbacks. Unfortunately, it's a lot like congress. If both sides constantly bicker, the ones that get hurt are the taxpayers...I mean workers.
