Do you think this warning letter for a late Early AM is justified?

[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1302035, member: 45230"] I think it was 1 1/2 minutes extra for over 70's but I wouldn't be surprised if that allowance has been greatly reduced. Technically a driver can demand another bargaining unit employee to assist him with an overweight package but if he does he is putting a target on his back. UPS now says they encourage drivers to get customer's help but no mention of consequences of whether that customer gets hurt. And basically you are expected to handle those heavy packages yourself and if you get hurt its your own fault for not knowing your own limits. After the wildcat over the increase to 150 pounds (which was immediately after a new contract was settled and UPS claimed wasn't a bargaining issue) UPS promised all over 70's would have 2 bargaining employees and also special equipment like portable rollers in package cars that didn't exist except 1 per center for demonstration purposes. UPS later changed their story to where they "encourage" drivers to get customers help and old promises vanished. Anyway, if you try to stand up to UPS over the issue expect repercussions. [/QUOTE]
