[QUOTE="McBrown, post: 360100, member: 15410"] For this and many other reasons, I handed my Bus. Manager a letter a few weeks back and resigned as Safety Co-Chair. When management does their "analysis" as it relates to crashes/injuries, they are trained to find out what could have been distracting you. (i.e. trouble with the wife, dog ran away, any other reason why your mind might not be on the job) This is blatently trying to put all the blame back on the drivers. I can't tell you how many "repeater interviews" I sat in on where the "offender" was saying these exact same things. Pressure to perform by management. When I am pulled into the office for any bitching session, I make sure to tell them I chose to leave my bulkhead door open or I chose not to use my handrail. It's what they want to hear anyway. Then I hear the horror stories of the guys who fell out of their truck on to slippery ice and had a compound fracture of the leg or a projectile the size of a pack of gum lodging itself in some driver's head causing him to be in a vegitative state. I thank my steward for coming with me, offer to buy him a coke for wasting his time in the office, and get on with my day. Safety! IT'S NO ACCIDENT! Yeah right, it's certainly not an accident when they put the blame back on us! [/QUOTE]
