Maybe that's in your local supplement...not in my local. All preloaders start at the same rate. New hires are bounced around from unload to loading like ping pong balls. Do you honestly think that their hourly rate will vary a dollar depending on where they worked on a particular day?? No! You can hit that disagree button all you want...it doesn't mean you're right.

Funny, you couldn't figure out the bottom of your paystub to determine your number of sick days....and you have to ask whether a preloader who's been here six years longer than you has seniority over you..but suddenly you're Rainman with the contract. Riiight.

I try to read contract before asking questions but sometimes its not there or unclear. Pay rate is something i looked into thoroughly when it shifted.

I never asked about bottom of my check i found a old thread and figured it out a while back. Pfft

I didn't say you asked about your check...you got yourself suspended because you said you weren't sure how many sick days you had used or had left...that is what I was referring to.

Nope i got suspended for having 6 occasions in 9 months only used 8hrs sick pay according to my center manager. Rest were unpaid for one reason or another. I still not exactly sure wtf happened. Just taking slap on the wrist, moving on.

Preloaders make more because its a skilled position but I wouldn't be surprised if that went away with all of the dumbing around going on.
Used to be a skilled position. With PAL all of the new preloaders are paid unskilled rate. Only preloaders who loaded before PAL receive the extra dollar. I don't agree with it but that is the way it is in my building. Same thing with the new overhead scanners in the smalls sort. They lost their dollar also.

I am just reporting how things are in my building. At one time everyone on the Preload received the extra dollar just for showing up. New preload manager changed everything. A lot of people are hoping he will be the old manager soon.
