    This is a stupid idea that the company could come back and say is industrial sabotage or a work slowdown.

    I'm a steward but I'm not your steward. So don't worry about what I think. It's my opinion. It you don't like it ill still drink a beer with you.

    I've got a signature if they are outside and it's something I know to be of value like electronics or a bike and such but you should just leave it behind the pot on the porch ring bell and knock and move on...

    nope, an actual term. If this sort of slow down could be proved and tied to a union official, UPS could go to the labor board and get compensation for financial damages from the union. That of course would be a pipe dream as it would be nearly impossible to prove. It might be demonstrated for individuals, however, which would leave them open to disciplinary action.

    -as a side note, the union official would have to be above a steward, as there is specific language in the contract stating the union cannot be held liable for illegal job actions started by stewards acting on their own.

    If it's a BOSE speaker system or a big LCD TV or if I know this particular lady is crazy, I get a signature.

    Otherwise, stop, drop, and roll on to your next stop.

    Getting a signature for every other stop would slow me down so much that it would offset any allowance I could possibly get, and likely get me a talking to.
    That was irrational of you...not to mention unsportsmanlike.

    Well, thanks for the lesson but it still seems like an absolutely stupid term....now if a union person broke into a facility at night and slashed every package cars tires , that's one thing and I can totally understand that, but someone walking at a snails pace in 90 degree weather towards the end of a 10 hour dispatch..well that's just called being tired...

    I bet you would get a signature if the home owner was mowing her front lawn in a bikini that was way too small for her......right?

    No bud it's for real. The best bet is to do everything at ups as honest as possible. With all their information ,time and resources doing stuff like this is just a stupid idea.
