[QUOTE="705red, post: 865890, member: 5229"] Krash nice to hear from you, always enjoy reading your posts. Overtime issue, these drivers have language that can help reduce the hours worked if not than they can get paid triple time. The language isnt perfect but it is a start. Harassment, call the corporate complaint line, I know it doesnt do any good because UPS protects their own, but it will document the case. File a grievance on harassment, its a grievance that will proetct you over time and actually help if you have a half way decent local backing you up. Delivering in the heat isnt anything new to any of us, we have been doing it for years and years. However busting out routes during heat warnings is AGAINST OSHA policies and you should call OSHA and file a grievance for being force to work excessive OT in these conditions. I kinow our local is pushing the heat issue and we are waiting for OSHA's report from it when they were at our largest building and they were there when wwe lost an employee that could be heat related. I encourage people that dont stand up for themselves to at least smile when they are being talked to by management, even if its complete BS. UPS management feed off of our emotions and if they see that it gets to you they will continue to jab at you, so just smile and wave, smile and wave. If your local isnt at least fighting for you on these issues, toss their backsides out and try something new, your dues pays their salaries and you deserve better than what some of you are getting in represenation.
