[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 273829"] [b]Re: Preloader/Sorter vs. All Others[/b] Let's all agree to stop referring to that "extra dollar" as Skilled Pay. There is no mention of Skilled Pay or Skilled Jobs in the Contract. It is insulting to all the Other workers to imply that they are unskilled. I realize UPS' electronic time clock lists part-time jobs as skilled and unskilled, but that's their business. Shame on them. We don't have to absorb their mindset. All jobs are skilled, some more than others. As a part-timer, I did lots of jobs that required quite a bit of skill, but wern't even eligible for the "extra dollar." [It so happens I was hired long before part-time wages were slashed in May of 1882, and the "extra dollar" divide-and-conquer nonsense was introduced. So the "extra dollar" issue didn't apply to me. But that's beside the point.] Just preparing early for the upcomming Mother-Of-All-Contract-Battles in 2013! [/QUOTE]
