[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 364637, member: 9789"] You are absolutely right on the matter of choice. But there is a cynical side to many of your posts... I guess my only beef is your remark about a [I]"It is up to the driver... not to obey a policy that could get him killed."[/I] In your previous post you also state that UPS is only concerned with liability and not the safety of the driver. Being concerned with liability is being concerned for the safety of the driver and also the general public. Though the lawyers in the company will certainly recommend a course of action to the management committee based on their fiduciary responsibilities to the stockholders, there is definitely other reasons that policies, procedures and unwritten guidelines are invoked. As a manager, the safety of my employees was more important than some liability. A cynic might see it in a different light and say the only reason I am doing that is to protect the company. UPS has a responsibility to the general public and letting you carry a gun puts the safety of other employees as well as the general public and yourself in harm's way. When you get to the point that you feel it is necessary to have a gun with you at work for your own personal safety, I would recommend that you leave UPS and get a job as a law enforcement officer in the community you feel is not protecting you safely.
