[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 316636, member: 484"] First off, I doubt seriously that the teamster (notice I said teamsters, not UPS) would allow a formal uniting of the safety committees. They have too much to fear if we actually find out that [B]we[/B] have power in unity, [B]not them[/B]. Read your contract, it says we can not share it (information) outside of the meeting itself. So unless it is done informally..... That being said, sober, you present a golden idea, along with some of the others, that could change the way UPS runs, and the teamsters supports the safety issue at UPS. Anything that is worker run, worker based and worker focused on safety is a force to be reconed with. Things like cracked frames, lower entrances to package cars, lower handrails, three point seat belts, all those are very valid safety concerns and need to be addressed at a national level, not locally. And it needs to be pursued through all available channels. Problem is we need to start somewhere, and at the current safety meeting is the best. What else would you suggest? d [/QUOTE]
