Let me ask you if your family would have to live without you if something happened, could they survive the next 6 years in court and without your income? Maybe yours could, but think about alot of full time sups that dont make the money that managers do, could they make it 6 years without his income? Thtas not being dragged through the mud?
Someone died at work on company property and the company is more concerned over a gag order than settling the case. For whatever reason, I feel that this is wrong and the family should not have to go through this. Yet as an employee this is how we see people being treated today by this company.
You dont like me posting about it, get off your ass and change the direction of this company.
What I don't like about what you are doing is presenting opinion as if it were fact...
What facts exist to show UPS was at fault here?
I hope nobody has to go through the pain this widow did. However, I have not yet seen any facts that show the company was at fault here. This is now the third time I've asked about that. Your answer is that an employee died on company property? That's a fact, but how does that translate to the company being at fault?
If you hired someone to work at your house, and they got hurt does that make the issue your fault? What if you are more well off than them. Does that change anything? What if they sued you. What would you do?
Its not unusual for someone to settle a case just because its easier and cheaper than fighting it.
Many people in the world die of tragic accidents. If one party were negligent, yes I believe in suing. If it were a true accident, no I don't. I have life insurance to protect my family.
The stance of so many here is very interesting... When the company wants to hold YOU accountable, the argument is that employees are professionals and know how to do the job. When something goes wrong however, you say the company is negligent.
Seems like arguing both sides simultaneously.
I don't know all the facts in this case. Since you have not presented anything more than a link, I assume you don't either.
I choose to let presented facts drive my opinion. It seems to me that you do the opposite.
