Heat blamed for North Texas UPS driver's illness during work deliveries

And here you go again on your narrative of the Company being responsible for a driver’s irresponsibility.

His wife blamed the heat, no one else. More fake news.

Heat is not even in the top 10 causes of stroke, unless a person is already predisposed to having a stroke. In which case, the heat really wasn’t the cause.

His massive stroke was caused by something other than heat. But, do you think the story will be updated when the hospital reports the cause of the stroke? Hell, no. It will not fit the narrative.

This is my main problem with stories like this. It’s impossible to trust the news media to at first accurately give the story, and then second follow up.

Whatever the reason I hope he gets better soon.

The media knows dummies read the headlines only.

The OP ignored all the facts in order to push an agenda.

Blame the worker?

Who else is to blame???

next peak season he is going to find a way to blame the company because some driver slips on an icey driveway, and probably dig up some OSHA violation dog

I do not support the “blame the worker” first culture that exists at UPS.

Unfortunately I have observed that attitude seems to exist amongst some members here on the BC well.

It is very difficult when UPS has workers defending UPS failures against workers.

This only gives UPS incentive to continue to do wrong to employees on many different levels.

You seem to have a “blame the worker” first attitude.

Am I reading your attitude correctly?

That idiot has the door closed? Why?

He or she isn't very bright. Could it be those very, very few that are experiencing heat related problems are contributing to the problem themselves?

Don't include the TX driver in the heat problem list either. That dude had a stroke, totally unrelated to heat.

You mean a blow dryer?

I haven’t requested one in my vehicle because I drove some other vehicles that had them, when it’s really hot it feels like it’s blowing hot air right on my face most hard to breath, plus it’s loud.

Every heat related injury at my building this year was an individual who had been off for several months with an injury and came back out of shape. There’s been a few close calls by others but the majority of the issue is preparing your body and this summer has been pretty hot.

As was the driver in CA.

We don't know the details but my guess he was laying around in air conditioned comfort, his body not acclimating to real life conditions. The continuous use of air conditioning environment causes the inability to deal with heat.

And honestly the young man in California we’ve heard nothing more about. Even the new story about him simply says his parents “feel”it was because of the heat there was no official word, which is unfortunate it would be nice to have the actual evidence and truth of what happened to that young man. Either way RIP

You call me out.

You misrepresent my words and you call me out.

You seem to lean towards a “blame the worker” first attitude yet you claim I collude with management.

When anyone tries to shift employer responsibility ethically, morally and under the law to the employee IMO they are the ones guilty of colluding with management.

You can now respond by twisting my words to perpetuate your own thinking and position.

You’ are the biggest fool on brown Café your words are meaningless and you have no idea what you’re talking about. Your opinions on what I am or am not are meaningless. You are the biggest fraud on here everyone knows it you’re a disgrace to being a teamster, I didn’t twist your words you said exactly what you meant that you agree with the company on disciplining drivers when they have heat related injuries. No amount of trying to restate your facts will change that. I led you down this path and you fell right into it because that’s who you are.

Show me.

You can’t.

 

[Thebrownblob]

You can’t.

You’re incapable of comprehending anything you’re shown, so there’s no need. It would be like me trying to show a three-year-old
