Serious Accident, Package Car - Tolland CT. 7/16/12

Bubblehead... I don't care who started the thread, why it was started, or when the family member registered. That's not the point.

The point is that you disrespected the injured driver and his family by defiantly continuing to post in the exact way that a member of the injured driver's family had asked us all not to. If supporting the family's request is overzealous moderation or makes this the vanilla cafe then that's fine. I'd rather be supportive of the injured driver and his family than tolerate your over zealous need to dominate this thread.

If you want to discuss UPS safety issues please start a new thread or post in one of the existing threads on that topic.

I'm not trying to dominate anything.
I returned to the thread to find my post, as well as posts by others having been deleted.
I didn't and don't understand why.
We were trying to create an awareness amongst our co-workers of a situation that needs to be addressed.
Sure it can and has been addressed in other threads, but it is way more effective when the issue can be linked to specific event like this one.
That picture fully illustrated exactly what we were trying to convey.
This driver and his family may have an opportunity to effectuate change, change that could prevent avoidable injuries and death in the future.
So by all means, let's all express our shock, awe, and condolences and go back to our everyday lives and wait for it to happen again.
Unfortunately, this guy won't be able to do so as easily as the rest of us.

Bubblehead... please stop posting about this in this thread. It is disrespectful to the injured driver and his family.

I wish these blogs would focus on positive comments and wishes to the family instead of playing the blame game to the employer. Thank you for your kind words and thanks to all who offered support, and to those who chose to land here to complain...go do it somewhere else. We are going through one of the worst crisis our family has seen. Be respectful.

No, it isn't.
The sister-in-law agreed with Heffernan that the safety related posts should not have been deleted. (see posts 33 & 35)
But hey, it's your show right?
May your days be filled with vanilla and your nightly dreams resonate kumbaya.

I just saw this and prayed with my heart and being for his miraculous recovery.
May it be so by your Grace and Love.

I was the OP of this thread. I posted it to spread the information and my sincere concern for Randy(I posted hoping the driver was OK 3 minutes after posting news link). I work in the same Local 671. I respect all the posts hoping for his complete recovery, especially from his family to keep us informed of his condition. I hope soon we might get some info on where to send cards and letters of encouragement to Randy. Remember, we are a brotherhood and sisterhood of the hardest working people around. We have common bind. UPSERS always try help each other.

I'm not far from this incident.

As soon as might be permissible, I'll visit this fellow, as well. Maroon shirt and all.
