[QUOTE="AssistantSanta, post: 919707, member: 38503"] In the other thread you started, you said you weren't aware you shouldn't run but the safety comment is a give away he knows you shouldn't. If you do this again or your friend does it, keep in mind helpers are hired to work alongside drivers to help the company. While drivers have more to lose, they have significant protection from the union while helpers can be fired at a drop of hat and they'll simply replace you with someone else from the pool of helpers. Drivers realize their body is the only body. He should treat helpers as if they were their one and only body, not some fresh company provided automatic hand trucks that UPS will replace if he ruins them. They have no right to drive helpers into the ground. If the safety violation comes at your expense, call the coordinator and report "he wants me to run and I was told some safety rules will have to be broken to get things done and my knees hurt". Looking after yourself to protect yourself isn't ratting. He's also not doing his fellow drivers any favor making numbers by cutting 3 1/2 corners at the expense of helper's well being. [/QUOTE]
