[QUOTE="dc_sniper9130, post: 432288, member: 19059"] Of course they will. Employees (management and hourly alike) are told over and over from day one that workers are "not allowed" to lift a 70+ lb package by yourself. However, they also say "know your limits." This is a really shifty approach, it's like saying "the speed limit is 60, but don't go faster than conditions allow for." Obviously on a bright, sunny, light-traffic day people will go faster than 60, but it's still illegal. If an emloyee hurts themselves lifting an over-70, UPS will likely not cover that injury since the employees are told and the official policy is that overweight packages need a team lift, even if you're perfectly capable of lifting more than 70 lbs at a time. Kind of crooked if you ask me, but my signature explains UPS's core moral IMHO. [/QUOTE]
