Right is Right. You expressed your opinion on a website that is not affiliated with UPS. I think you should have taken the meeting along with your BA. Two reasons - 1) It gives you a chance to hear what they have to say first hand. 2. If a threat was involved, you would have first hand knowledge to take further action.

If what you say is true - NOBODY has a right to squelch your 1st Amendment Rights. Based on what you say, you are acting on the best interests of the drivers in this matter. Now - it is possible that the management team is trying to understand your point of view further and just wanted to talk to you. By not taking the meeting you can't be sure what the motives were/are.

You should take the meeting and let us know what happens.

Never denied it, and iwas the steward making a stink about that situation. But when you have feeder managers telling you its peak, and the safety manager telling you to address it with the safety commitee so it can be addressed at the next safety meeting what else was i to do? Should i wait for 3 weeks to let safety fix it, or just wait until a driver got hurt or worse before it was fixed? I did what i felt i had to, and i will do it again!!!!!!!!!

Lifer i had spoken with several different managers in an attempt to fix it but they chose not to. They brushed it off as not a big deal, until corporate saw my post. If it was important enough to want to talk to me after the fact, then they should have fixed it at first. IMO.

I come here off of ups's time and on my own time from my own house on my own computer so i dont need to respond to anything at work, unless i am spewing negative bs or slanderous statements.

I would like to thank cheryl for giving us the cafe to communicate with each other and when we need to address an issue, a forum to bring it to corporates attention. Cafers address your issues here and they will get the attenion they deserve.
