[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 190585, member: 7185"] I've seen a number of deaf UPS handlers. All great workers. The first one I met was an unloader and one of the first to get a vibrating pager for evacuations, etc. Another I saw in the hub a couple weeks ago. He communicated via sign-language and the person he spoke to understood him. However, in terms of driving, I can see the problem. I think I saw somewhere about drivers with sight in only one eye and a debate about allowing them to drive. They were allowed to get a license and drive on American roads. My opinion on the topic itself is that if they can get a license, they should be allowed to try to be a driver. I know the liability issues involved are a problem, let alone the responsibility of driving a package car. But...give 'em a chance. I've been passed over for jobs for whatever reason and another employer offered me a similar position and I excelled. Maybe it'd be the same for these deaf UPS'ers. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
