Per the national contract 22.5, preloaders and sorters have a different pay schedule than all other part time employees. It then follows to say that employees who work the HVD and LVD positions shall be paid at the preloader/sorter rates. Thus a skilled employee for purposes of making an extra dollar are part time preloaders, sorters, and pickoffs.Does anyone know what the definition of what a skilled position is? I've asked a few people(from HR to center manager), and nobody seems to know the definition. Best I could get is I know it when I see it. Using that definition, then mgmt could issue a verdict that there are no skilled positions, and there would be nothing anyone could do about it. It ahs got to be written somewhere.
Or more likely, "None".As as been pointed out before over the years, there is no "skill" pay. It's just preload/sort rates. If skill were a factor, there are more "skilled" jobs such as D CAP, ODC auditor, etc.
