[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 931328, member: 18044"] Personally, I don't believe we should be required to sign anything unless it's a legal requirement. I refuse to sign certain things if they are false or have me agreeing to something I know is a lie, or something I can't promise. But normally I sign without creating a scene. Most things are just routine. Not worth fighting. Legally, initialing is the same as signing. Don't kid yourself. Something you can do is write, "I have [U]reviewed[/U] this document." Then add your signature. That indicates you read the document, which is what UPS wants, without indicating that you agree with it. What bothers me about this is the Teamsters, as usual, never take the lead. If they would announce that we should not sign certain specific documents, then we would know they will back us up, and we'll have plenty of others refusing to sign as well. Instead, each of us is on our own with no guidance. Today I signed "The Eight Yard Control Safety Rules Assessment" and the "Awareness of Damages and Overgoods Prevention Training" (affectionately known as ADOPT). Like so many of these things, a complete waste of time. The Teamsters should simply tell UPS that if they want proof we were given all these documents, then just have a supervisor take attendance when documents are distributed to a group, or create his own roster if handed out individually. No need for us to sign. [/QUOTE]
