Just Hired as High Value associate..what to expect?
- Thread starter rej277
- Start date
Before I was a driver I was a pt clerk and HV was one of my duties. AFAIK our center has no special AM procedures for HV. We just get an ODS message telling us we have a HV and do not DR.
In the PM I would inspect the HV packages and make sure the packaging was sufficient. Then enter the relevant info into a program. Then I would put the package in a HV bag. And then I would put the package in a trailer and make sure it was loaded properly. The trailer number was logged into the computer.
easy. We would usually have 2 or 3 HV's a day to process.

May I remind you that "the company" is not a person but if it was, what makes you think 'lack of trust' is limited to just "anybody in the Union"?

Up here in the Bubble of Goodness the HV and RA clerks are union.

title says it all.
I applied for box handler, but then later decided I didn't really want the job (mainly because I'm not really in shape). The HR guy called me however and told me that he wanted me to be a High Value Associate.
He told me that it's less endless box moving, and that I'd be getting paid more than a handler. Of course I accepted.
I'm not really sure what I'm going to be doing though. I start in 2 weeks, and he told me that I basically have a cart and make sure that insured boxes go where they need to go, and that I get proper signatures.
Can anyone here chime in? Is it a harder job physically than being a handler? What about mentally? Am I going to hate my job?
that could possibly the easiest job
what do you mean by 22.3?

22.3 refers to the 10,000 jobs UPS was mandated to create as part of the 1997 strike settlement. These jobs are governed by Article 22.3 of the NMA.

Maybe "envisioned" is a more accurate word than "mandated".
I started training last week and this week, and I gotta say, the hardest part of my job with no doubt is getting the supervisors for the 4 areas to sign for the HV packages.
Geez, it's almost impossible because everytime I ask someone who looks like a supervisor to sign, they go "nope I'm not signing it" and I have to play cat and mouse to hunt down whoever is supposed to sign it. Then the person who finally does always complains about it.
Just wanted to get my feelings out.

LOL ... nothing like management in a large corporation.
This attitude permeates the work flow these days.
Not bragging but my management coaches me about assuming too much authority.
This as much as anything else differentiates the new UPS from the old United parcel Service.
So, Scott is running the whole show?
