[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1189720, member: 42691"] In our division, this feeder driver would have been off work for quite a while, regardless of who's fault it was. If he or she was lucky, he would be assigned to work two shifts in the hub to get their 8 hours while the "investigation" took place. It's been a couple of years, but one of our guys was coming back from the rail yard, on a city interstate. A young guy on a crotch rocket came flying up an on ramp and lost control of his bike and laid it down. A bread truck ran over and killed the guy--through no fault of his own--and our feeder driver ran over the motorcycle when it shot out in front of him. If I remember right, our guy was assigned to the hub to get his 8 hours everyday for over a month while the investigation took place. Any sane person could have taken 15 minutes to figure out our guy had nothing to do with the accident, but then, sanity isn't something our management is known for, is it? Our guy lost a bunch of money because UPS has to make their moral stand. That is not to lessen the people who lost their lives in these accidents, but I bet this feeder driver who was involved in this accident will miss some significant time. One is one, the other is something entirely else, but UPS will weld them together, regardless of how this guy feels. Blame or no blame, this driver will be haunted, but management will make it much worse by trying to pin some blame on him. [/QUOTE]
