[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 429442, member: 11425"] Can UPS use "technology" such as the DIAD or onboard recorders, etc. for disciplinary purposes? I thought there was something in the contract that stated they couldn't use the data they collected as the sole criteria. On a personal note, I take my hat off to anyone who drives a package car. The level of micro-management is reaching an unprecedented level. I got out of package just as EDD started because I saw the writing on the wall. In order to pay for their fancy system they would have to ramp up production. Now, with GPS in the boards and sensors all over the package car I am glad more than ever that I transferred. Funny thing, I am a "method man". My shop stewarts liked me because I never gave them any problems and did the job correctly. Management liked me because I did my route consistently well. But I'll admit, the intense mental and physical pressure was just too much to bear anymore. And unfortunately, the more money we make and the greater the disparity in compensation compared with our competition, the more they are going to put the screws to us. In Feeders, we have the onboard computer, the IVIS, to contend with that records everything we do. But I do not find it too oppressive as we are given more realistic allowances to get the job done. If there is a delay we can record it under "Central Sort" which bills the time to the building that is delaying us. Knock on wood I hope they don't sic I.E. on us next! [/QUOTE]
