[QUOTE="soberups, post: 481940, member: 14668"] I read your blog and saw the pictures. I'm sorry to hear that you have a pinched nerve in your upper back. I have had upper back/neck problems myself. They got a lot better when I finally got a vehicle with power steering. The job is challenging enough without having to spend 10+ hours a day fighting equipment that was intentionally designed to beat the crap out of us. You will not be the first person to become disillusioned with the Safety Committee. Those who choose to remain on it for any length of time are usually people who already have their letter in for management, or who have found a way to get preferential treatment in exchange for not making any waves. We have guys like that on our commmittee...they have lighter dispatches, better vehicles and earlier start times in order to grade papers or hand out doughnuts. The bottom line is that UPS has co-opted the Safety Committee, neutered it, and turned it into a Keter Audit Training committee that doesnt speak out, cause any trouble or confront it on any meaningful safety issues.
