[QUOTE="KidUPS, post: 574279, member: 18294"] *Shutters. How dare you! (jk). A PCM was given a few months ago with my work group about watching the language while working in our operation. Now the work group consisted of just about every type of UPS employee. Young and old part timer, new combo employee, the grizzled combo veteran, former drivers, etc and a few females. The work area and job basically called for everyone being in close quarters with each other for roughly the whole shift. So it was stressed that everyone just be away of their language. Months went by and a few times we had to let an employee know to be careful with his language. Most times they would laugh and apologize and that would be that. Every so often someone would let out a few curse words in frustration and we would let it go but not without giving them a little look. I must say now, that cursing in our operation is very, very mild. I believe the way it was told to the employees, about being respectful and trying to lead with integrity, really put them in the proper mindset and made them aware of the other people around them who might take great offense to their foul langauge. I do believe, however, that if the foul language is used towards any other employee, be it management or hourly, or if directed towards the company, then the supervisor/lead has every right to document this with the employee and a steward. I think reviewing the Code of Conduct with the employee once after an incident would really open his eyes to how he speaks when around other people. And in regards to the management team in my operation cursing. Our lead let us know where he stood on cursing. So we rarely, if ever, curse in front of our employees and every so often let one slip when talking amonst each other. [/QUOTE]
