[QUOTE="a911scanner, post: 4345747, member: 58498"] Explain it away all you will. The 70 to 150 transition was a backhanded, under-the-table deal that should have flatly been denied in it's current iteration. A "mediation" in this area would have been 110 lbs. That is certainly quite heavy enough to cover many residential items as referred to above. I'm sure UPS pays many a worker's comp claim over these items that are essentially way to big for one driver to begin with, considering the tools we have. As for the working even more hours issue, I'm sure you are aware of the new 9.5 initiative in the last contract. That alone should explain that a majority of package car drivers would prefer not to work more hours. That means I would prefer to not lose up to 2 hours every day helping or waiting for help. Please stop diminishing such a large issue. You are not the end all be all. Matter of fact, I'm just as an important union member as you. And yes, I vote every time, am active in my facility & hold managements feet to the fire on the contract. Bottom line, ([I]trying to be reasonable with a middle ground solution[/I]) anything over 100 lbs. should be a freight delivery. Or even possibly a two-man delivery team delivering over 100# packages all day. [/QUOTE]
