[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 340108, member: 13254"] Oh man, I was climbing on your band wagon til you got to the the part I put in bold. I do not believe that UPS has designed anything to force people into early retirement. To think the company plans on getting people killed is just ....beyond belief. Now if you had said "back onto some poor driver who has been provided with equipment and a workload that is [B]ill designed for the task they expect us to preform and install time pressures that contradict safe work methods. [/B]I would still be 100% in support of your post. Something else kinda bothers me also. Many times you have posted that the company refuses to retro fit older package cars with 3 point seat belts at the cost of 30 bucks a pop. I have to wonder if you have indeed done any research on this? The cost of parts alone would run more than that, then you have to add the mechanics wages into the formula. I'm thinking the cost per vehicle would be closer to $300-500. My life is worth more than that (to me anyway) but that would be way too much for UPS(or any other company) to ever consider . Tell ya what, I bet if you did research on UPS automotive accidents and came up with enough data that would prove your assessment that 3 point seat belts would have saved the lives of drivers that have been killed in accidents in UPS equipment, they would come alot closer to granting your wish. I do not disagree that 3p sb are better than the old lap belts, they clearly are safer. [/QUOTE]
