[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1713989, member: 42270"] The reason the union will (hopefully) never agree to a set production standard is due to the fact that someone would eventually get canned for, say, having a 150 PPH rate while loading hardware (or any number of thousands of scenarios beyond the employee's control) because they filed a few grievances. The potential for harassment/retaliation is already pretty high in any UPS operation. That being said -- yeah, sorting 170 PPH [B]might[/B] not quite meet the standard of "a fair day's work for a fair day's pay." Whenever management complains to me about a member's production, I always ask them if they've done an observation on them on the work methods after I remind them of the language in Article 37. Typically, they haven't. 90% of people that intentionally sandbag are going to end up picking it up just to avoid having a PT supervisor watch them and check boxes for an hour a day. [/QUOTE]
