[QUOTE="scoobypanda, post: 359734, member: 13957"] Our committee was started by management when atlanta instructed them to do so. It too was a joke. Then my steward took over and brought in strong union people. Now when we get new managers or supes in our building they bitch and moan for a week or two then they end up with their tails between their legs. They are handing us the tools and if we aren't using them, we are fools. I can't describe how great it was when I got an OJS and started to stretch & flex at my 1st stop. My supe was halfway to the door when he turned and saw me and his jaw just dropped. They pay a physical therapist to give demonstrations twice a month in our building, so of course I am following their instructions and it is killing them inside. Hourlies and the Union are always playing defense. Corporate's safety program lets us play offense. If you are "on the back forty" and don't have time to commit to changing this, then I suggest finding a solid 15 year vet to get the ball rolling. Within a year and a half, I promise a real culture change. We now have 3 buildings in our district rolling along and we're starting to fix a fourth. There is a saying, "the best defense is a good offense". I am playing offense and no one has checked to see if my shoes are polished in 5 years, know what I mean? [/QUOTE]
