Management weaponizing area observations

It's a full court press from management in our building. Area and intersection observations are the new harrassment tools.

In our center any driver who has attendance issues, 9.5 grievances, or over allowed hours are targets for this harrassment. And......they're in rental cars this time around, so spotting them is difficult.

A driver in my group(Attendance problems) was followed 4 days in a row, nailed for not using three points of contact each day, and is now facing 3 day suspension(4 when you count the 1 day).

Our local is on it, but so far no relief from over supervision.

never have understood why you let that bother. we have language in the cintract about harassment and being over supervised...learn the contract then file

UPS has already been reported to OSHA for using safety as a tool for discipline. I urge each center going thru this to file a complaint thru OSHA. you only have 30 days from infraction. Management is being instructed to say they saw infractions even if they don't . They all have that dreaded disease " Lie-a-beetees .so we need to get them help. And yes we do have contract language to protect us, but when the Union is letting the grievance process drag out for a year, it gives management a little to much time to make a good employee look like a bad one. So OSHA unfortunately is the faster process.

So one of the issues that place a target on one's back is over allowed so the solution is to enforce the methods that make the day longer. I always get a kick out of this concept.

What gets me the most is when the Safety Committee is out doing observations with management in the morning.

Rentals can be difficult but not impossible to ID. We look for cars backed in to driveways. They always, always back in.

We have the same 3-4 people show up RIGHT AT the start time every day
That's the only way to do it why do I want to come in an hour early and sit there with a bunch of guys and moan and groan about the company moan and groan about my hours but then I don't want to get onto the 9.5 list....
