[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 2343919, member: 28856"] What numbers would you consider safe for everyday? We can agree that something like a package a second is unreasonable and dangerous, but would one package every 10 seconds be too slow? If I'm picking up 100 lb furniture boxes that's too fast, but should someone in a trailer full of 40 lb boxes be taking that long per package? When I got hired the company told me the goal they wanted, if I felt it was completely unreasonable I could leave right then and there. I know the union doesn't support production standards but there really is a point where someone isn't giving an honest safe effort and is just being slow to be slow. When I was in the unload I tried a few times to go as slow as I could but everytime I stopped thinking about going slow I sped up because it wasn't hard. Your body will let you go at your comfortable pace without injury and that can be very close to the pace UPS is looking for. Or at the very least it looks like you're working and not trying to slack off and management will see it as an honest effort. Article 37 goes both ways, they have to respect your physical ability but you also can't purposely sandbag just because you don't want to work. [/QUOTE]
