[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1834295, member: 32753"] What is "a fair day's work"? Who makes and decides the standard? This phrase I see often in threads like this, but it's not defined. In the contract, under article 37, it says this, while also saying we will work in a manner 'supporting the best interests of UPS'. Who determines what those are? These are honest questions; they are not necessarily driving to a point; I say 'necessarily' because I do have thoughts on those questions, but I am curious as to what others think. I do wish people would stop referring to SPORH as a made up number. It isn't, and is more a simple formula: number of stops, divided by the amount of time spent on road (so excluding AM and PM time). There's nothing made up about it, and while their SPORH target for you may seem arbitrary, I doubt it is out of thin air. However, ultimately the SPORH will be based on what you demonstrate your best performance on the route to be. If they are "threatening" to do an OJS, let em. No need for hostility, the "Why are you talking to me?! This is UNSAFE!" Pull over, let them talk; that time spent helps you, either in training or because it's time spent not doing the job, and helps keep the SPORH down. [/QUOTE]
