[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 557670, member: 18708"] What I said were two completely true statements. Read the initial post, especially the end which is the meat-and-potatos. "In the past, we had some egress problems and I put it on the concern log during the safety meetings and then told the full time supe the possibility of filing grievance/OSHA claim. Egress problems went away just like that. Now they are back. I went to him and he basically said it was my job to tell the loader causing the egress to stop it. [b]The loader causing the egress is a combo-guy, nice guy, he just lacks the physical ability to do his job in combination with management sending the flow so hard at him. I told my supervisor its not my job to instruct him.[/b] I dont want to get this guy pissed, what I want is the flow to be controlled or for him to get help from fellow employees. Im not even in his area its just this area happens to be by the bathroom." UPS should and contractually must make work accomdations based on an employees overall abilities (or lack thereof) to promote a safe work environment for everyone. If said employee cannot physically function properly within a job (as a loader for instance), it is up to UPS to find alternative work assignents. It is not about power plays, trying to force an employee (a combo, probably no coincidence) to quit or get hurt. If someone wants to listen to me or 'be influenced' then let them be the judge; it makes you look foolish telling a grownup how to think, at least imo. [/QUOTE]
