[QUOTE="Asskicker, post: 1095905, member: 45097"] Ok, where do you get that I am despising or looking down on someone with a different point of view? I didn't say that. Lifting packages over 70 lbs by yourself IS abuse. UPS raised the weight limit to 150 lbs with the stipulation that you can call in for help with and over 70lb package. Same with the bulk cart drivers in the building...they are working alone which they shouldn't be. Your body...unless you are a power lifter...wasn't designed to lift this much weight especially every day, for hours a day (part-timers). And as far as most of you enjoying what you do...that's fantastic for you and the people you work with. You must have some pretty decent Management people. Where I work, and the hubs in our district all I hear from the time I come in is BITCH, BITCH, BITCH. Employees work exhausting hours doing exhausting labor, and especially full timers don't get a lot of family time because of it. Don't know why you got so defensive. I'm just saying there are "rights" if you will, that you can practice and don't. And by the way if you reread my post I did say "rights". [/QUOTE]
