[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 412990, member: 9310"] The problem is that the non-management Safety co-chair has been coopted by the opportunity to never do real hourly work again if he plays ball with the management co-chair and pt safety supe and concentrates on all the irrelevant busywork needed to pass the KETER audits. If he concentrated on making sure your shift never passed KETER until you got fans you'd probably get fans. After all, I'm pretty sure his signature is required on the Safety Committee minutes when they're posted if KETER's not to mark the shift down to less-than-pass (95%?), and if KETER is resistant to doing so (it's a Liberty Mutual -- UPS' insurance carrier -- subsidiary, and is in the business of making UPS' OSHA-required safety system look as good to OSHA as UPS pretends it is) he could go direct to OSHA to say your safety process is crap. But then he might have to go back to working smalls sort or whatever near cupcake job his seniority entitles him to rather than sucking up the safety hours giving ridiculous little talks on the I in HABITS, giving out muffins, filling out paperwork, and generally avoiding getting his hands dirty. So, talk to him (en masse) about how he should be working for you. The National Master requires Union approval of non-management participants in the Safety Committees, so if that doesn't work you can go (preferably in a body of unloaders and other concerned Local members) to your BA to get your current non-mgmt Safety Co-Chair's gravy train ticket yanked.
