[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1174892, member: 31414"] [U][B]Did UPS really have a chance considering?:[/B][/U] [I]The Supreme Court ultimately granted Battaglia the more expansive interpretation of the law, and reaffirmed the $500,000 in economic damages, with damages for emotional distress to be decided by a jury. [B]"These were not the occasional words of a low-level employee having a bad day," [COLOR=#0000ff][U]Justice Helen Hoens[/U][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR]wrote in a 55-page opinion, "but were the words of a supervisor, uttered in meetings with managerial employees, both repeatedly and routinely.[/I] Also, why would Battaglia write an [U]anonymous letter[/U] to corporate? While I certainly have no "love" for UPS Corporate, I believe a signed letter would have received more attention (FWIW...I have always signed mine). "Battaglia, who's now been with UPS for 28 years, says he complained to DeCraine and other managers, but received no response.

On a personal note, I will say that I have not been overly thrilled with the responses I have had from UPS Corporate over the years. Corporate relies on the District management (HR) to conduct the investigations which are often "friends" of those that you may be have "issues" with. The investigation goes far enough to CYA and then proceeds back up the corporate chain (District - Region - Corporate) where it is neatly tucked away. Perhaps this incident will change "Business as Usual" in the Corporate offices of Atlanta. [COLOR=#0000ff][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
