[QUOTE="Benben, post: 817945, member: 25133"] I honestly think this is getting blown a bit out of porportion. #1. Walk paths in the yard are to be used! This is the first rule in yard control proceedures. It matters not if you are on the clock or not, comming or going. It is a safety issue in a place where there is a real risk of injury. We have people die every year in accidents that occure in UPS yards around the country. #2. Your start time is posted every Friday. If you can not get to your DIAD due to an ongoing evac drill, so what? You punch-in for the posted time and still get paid. Now, if you tell us they refuse to pay you when you are there at your scheduled start time but they are doing something that prevents you from reaching the time clock thats another issue. I am not seeing that this is the case! For those of you who are trying to say that "UPS" can not force you to abide by "their" safety rules when you are not on the clock, but while on "their" property I suggest you rethink your possition! This is an OSHA issue and if you think for one second that "UPS" values you more than the MILLIONS in dollars OSHA [B]can[/B] [B]and will[/B] levy in fines you need professional help!! [/QUOTE]
