[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 53107"] It seems that there are several thoughts on this subject. 1st is the one of those fakeing injury for what ever personal reasons and making harder for those that are legit to get the care and consideration they are due. Seems to me I see a smaller manifestation of that when we have 25% of our drivers getting the NAscar flu twice a year. Never fails. The same drivers each spring and fall call in sick at least from wednesday on if not the whole week. And then sometimes on monday if they get too drunk. Then there are those managers that will, as some have posted, tell their drivers to suck it up and go on. I was told that the day I broke my foot. So I have seen that first hand. But that was several years ago, and while they might tell that to other drivers, they have not done so with me. But when it comes to injuries, and the identification of the causes, but yet refuse to eliminate the causes.... Reminds me of the discussion of lowering the hand rails or moving them around so the drivers can use them. They refuse. So I figure when we have a driver that gets hurt because they could not reach the hand rail, or it caused an injury because it was in the wrong place, I will pull out all the documentation of the grievances filed, minutes of the safety commitee, and all the personal emails sent to the district, region, corp. and to ford et al, and go visit a good lawyer. Shame really. UPS is/was/has to potential to be such a good company. Kinda like a lumberjack pulling a splinter out of his finger while the tree is fixin to fall on his head. d [/QUOTE]
