A 30% increase from 70 is 91lb, a 30% decrease from 100 is 70.

I think that's the point, it makes a 100lb load feel like 70lb

Yee, like I was saying. If I'm supposed to carry a 100 pound object, say a section of stage, having 30 pounds of that offloaded would make the task that much easier and bearable.

Management will say that they if they can offload 30% then we can increase the weight carried by the employee by 40%.

Luckily it's a union job so there wouldn't be any of that lol. Other industries and workplaces though would absolutely abuse it, not naming any Amazons- I mean names.
