[QUOTE="want to retire, post: 973659"] Our safety committee was disbanded due to the Unions objections of Teamsters hurting other Teamsters. I believe this is a tragedy in the making. We now have no way to file any kind of safety concern. In the past at least there was a written record. Now, you just tell a Sup. and you can imagine how little if anything gets done. I also believe the Safety Committee was just a overtime maker for the few that attended. And, the members were absolutely the worst drivers (safety record wise) in the department. And, their records and injuries don't improve. And, the Safety Committee agenda put forth by the Company was so controlled and scripted that any real and meaningful change never occured. I always tried to include a real comment on my safety concerns for posterity. Like: someone is going to get hurt or die or something like that. Some of the things I tried to change in the real world were running stop signs on property, speeding on property such as mechanics testing vehicles going 50-60 mph while running stop signs for example. Stupid, dangerous things which go on unabated. Stupid, dangerous. [/QUOTE]
