[QUOTE="anonymous4, post: 1015457, member: 30532"] The most interesting thing in this thread was TearsInRain. I cannot tell if his reply was complete sarcasm or the dreadful truth. We have people working through breaks daily, also bullying people into taking staggered breaks to "keep the flow going". It is awful to say, but I think we know what is coming. This push in production will result in a death eventually, which might be the turning point if UPS can't sweep it under the rug. Safety is barely an afterthought when you have heavy industrial parts, hazmats and other dangerous items blowing up as it goes through a meat grinder, with insufficient staffing to keep things running. Daily, things reach a peak where package after package is blown up in the belt system, and as soon as the area supervisor says enough is enough, the center manager was there shaking her finger to NOT SHUT THE BELTS DOWN, KEEP IT RUNNING. Injury, death? WHO CARES. WE. MUST. MAKE. PRODUCTION ON THIS DAY! How would our customers feel seeing a video of what happens in some areas of our hubs? Where 1 out of 10 packages quite literally explodes. Areas with 300+ wraps piled up, shredded to pieces just so we could hit that number. Packages stacking up in the rafters so high they fall 25 feet down to the floor, easily killing or seriously injuring someone. It will happen soon enough. [/QUOTE]
