[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 442980, member: 484"] 804 i agree. problem is this on the three point seatbelts. 1, the "movement" to get the company to address the situation seriously is very fragmented. as such, the situation probably never gets past the district or division level. for sure it does not reach the tree huggers that are worried about the snail darter, or we would have the correction yesterday. 2, the union has been aware of the issue, but does not feel it is an issue of significance, otherwise, it would have put pressure on ups to fix the problem. which goes back to the old saying, whats in it for me. and that is the way the union operates. 3, the only other option is a widespread movement. one that has popular support of the drivers (some would argue against you know) and is broad enough for a legal action against ups. one of the things i did learn as a foster parent was our association was, in the view of the state, a nice little group doing good things. when we began with our children's bill of rights, and the threat of legal action to speed up the process by which unfit parents are declared unfit, and the child is then allowed to be placed in a permanent home, when we started actively pushing that, we began to see action. outside of taking an outside action against ups, i dont know how else to fix it. i would be interested in the thoughts of Pman and tie, as well as some of the other management posters. d [/QUOTE]
