[QUOTE="Local20, post: 320058, member: 14799"] I can fill in two of the other blanks. Safety results are tweaked by management working with the stewards. Injury's are brought into the office, and they are convinced no matter how bad it is to work with the company and not make it a recordable injury. They come into work and watch supervisors until they think they are healthy enough to work again. Not ever really knowing how bad their injury may have been. I've seen people sent home who could have had concussions from steel falling out of the top of the walls, or faulty flaps coming down and slamming them in the head. It always leads to the same deal. You go in with no defense, unless your lacerated too deep for them to even overlook. It has to be hard for an hourly employee to make that call, when management and the union are begging you to give it some time and work with them. Seeing if the injury improves. The 2nd way this hub got you was with their computer system. I'm not sure how they do it, but someone set it up to detect misloads as they were put in trailers. My understanding is that it's using the customer tracking system, and doing literally hundred's of tracking numbers at the same time. They have part-time supervisors sit there behind computers, and look for packages that shouldn't be going to a particular destination. Then they run down and dig it out of the trailer. I know this is a fact, because I've had a couple brought to me that I mis-loaded, and they sat me with a steward to show me. For whatever reason since they received the award they have not been doing it anymore. I'm not sure why, but I'm sure corporate had something to do with it. I'm not sure who "Unbreakable" is, but I do tend to agree with most of his statements. [/QUOTE]
