[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 662591, member: 484"] sober shame on you for letting a serious safety issue drag on that long. in our meetings, we identified the problem, gave it a rating as to the possibility of injury and the severity. then depending on the classification rating, we either took care of the problem ourselves or brought it to managements attention for resolution. some things we put a time deadline on if the issue rated it as being a hazard that was an eminent threat to an employee. for instance, during one of the building audits, we found that 9 of 11 fans that blow air into the trailer had cords on them with bare wires. all fans were locked out at that time, and the electrician was called to repair the wires within an hour after it was brought to their attention. management knew that if we set a deadline for the issue to be resolved, and that deadline passed without corrective action, a grievance would be filed at that time. this serves several purposes. during an audit, when keter would go through the building, there is nothing like a list of grievances to show how serious management is about safety issues, and the ability of the safety committee to get thing done in a timely manner. and for sure, ups does not want osha getting called in on a situation where an employee was injured, and there is a paper trail identifying the issue, and several grievances filed by the committee on the company dragging its feet fixing the issue. that is why it is imperative that the union stewards are involved with the committee. holding the company responsible, that is what the committee is charged to do. anything less, and the committee is a sham. d [/QUOTE]
