Dumb decision

[htown0721]

htown0721,

What action did the center manager take regarding this violation?

Sincerely,
I

Currently, he is still in the hospital but the rumor is he will be fired or already has been. With OSHA coming in everything has been silent.

Most p/t sups are not dumb enough to progress any work on a bulk cart. That's an obvious union target. He was either fooling around, setting up his bulk carts(because the hour-lies dont come in on time to do it themselves), retrieve his bulk cart(because the hourlies intentionally take them one at a time, when they can take them all- to extent thier time on the clock) or if the sup is looking for the bulk driver hourlies that disappear, abusing the sort(cigarette breaks in the yard, talking on phone etc)....

The penalty will simply depend on the paperwork. Was he trained, was he suppose to be trained but his boss failed to train, was certification faked, were there employees willing and able to do whatever he was doing, did the p/t exhaust his means, Does he have an injury history, was he specifically instructed to drive, why did the FT Sup permit an uncertified p/t sup to drive etc

Basically he did not want to walk back across the building and saw a cart jumped on it and it was all down hill from there. We are not trained to drive and are told not to drive them around by Upper management, yet it occurs daily.

He's a PT sup, he got hurt on the job doing something stupid. Goodbye.

Sucks for him, we've all done dumb ****.

Sucks for him, we've all done dumb ****.

The difference is most of us don't display our stupidity on an Internet forum.

htown0721,

What is done, on a daily basis, when this type of violation is witnessed?

I

Honestly, there is nothing done but that might be changing with this incident

Don't think they can fire him while he's in the hospital and/or on workmans comp.
