I’m wondering what’s behind that? New hires too weak?So, who else watched frontline and laughed at the new rule.
Are they planning on giving us helpers every day if we have a big industrial route?
Work Comp would be my guess. Hurt yourself trying to lift something too heavy they’ll try to put the injury on you.I’m wondering what’s behind that? New hires too weak?
They’re looking out for your safety
Lol. Suuuure they are.Why all the pessimism
They’re looking out for your safety
Remember, we don't have a union (even if it's a weak one) to protect the employees against management when local management decides to "clean house" of employees who follow the rule because "half the station ignores it"...
Probably the only advantage to working for an Amazon contractor. 1/2 of my route is envelopes, and I've yet to encounter a single pkg heavier than 50.Which is too bad because a 50 lb limit sounds downright luxurious.
They’re building ‘em with cheaper materials these days.Seems the younger guys and gals get hurt more easily.
It also could be that they aren't willing to just 'walk it off' like the older generation and hope it doesn't screw them up for life.Seems the younger guys and gals get hurt more easily.
I thought the new rule was for handlers only?
Yeah, it excluded potential management pool.Remember when they had the lift test for new hires? Gone many years ago.
