[QUOTE="soberups, post: 810563, member: 14668"] It is illogical to assume that an otherwise unsafe person would modify their behavior simply by virtue of the fact that they have been arbitrarily assigned to a group. I think that UPS's motive behind "group" recognition is to create a subtle form of peer pressure that will discourage a person from [I]reporting[/I] an injury out of fear that he/she would somehow be punishing the entire "group". This is textbook group psychology. But when we are talking about a group of adult drivers who make $50K+ per year, it is rather absurd to think that one of them would avoid reporting an injury out of fear that the fellow members of his "group" will lose out on a $5 trinket or some coffee and doughnuts. Of course, absurdity has never stopped UPS from doing things before. [/QUOTE]
