[QUOTE="upser2020, post: 5722138, member: 88462"] Just an observation on automation. I work at a decent sized automated hub. We don't have sorters just belt tenders(which is what I do now). As I understand it a nearby facility that isn't automated and has sorters has about 4 times as many people in sorting and does comparable volume(we have 18 tenders and usually 3 to 4 extras/aa) while the other facility has over 50 sorters just for unload and 20 to 30+ for outbound sorting or secondary sort(which ill admit I'm a little fuzzy on what secondary sort is). I will say that the automatic sorting doesn't take much to get out of whack if people aren't paying attention. But yeah looks like they are saving 75% on labor plus tenders don't get the extra dollar per hour that as I understand it sorters do. [/QUOTE]
