Performance Based Contests

The Union feels that participation in "Performance Based Incentives (Contests) creates a false level of expectation that over a period of time results in undue stress to our members.

Historically, statistics have shown that these contests have increased the company's expectations. By competing to reach these goals, we are setting unrealistic standards for ourselves which are becoming impossible to achieve.

We feel the membership already provides great, consistent performance for this company and our hope is that the membership should not have to achieve levels that cannot be maintained on an everyday basis.

Don't stress yourselves out. Take time for yourselves. Smile.

Ross and the Union Team.
