[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 4407581, member: 12508"] No, based on long-term experience with a company that almost totally disregards it's people. I would absolutely NOT trust them to respond properly, and/or be completely transparent with employees. I'm not there. Are they disinfecting trucks, providing employees with sanitizer, wipes, etc.? Are they slowing down the sort and maybe having one person per can instead of 2? Spacing out the people scanning the belt? Again, I doubt it. When I first started, I worked at a station that handled a lot of Radioactive, so we all had to wear film badges. Back then, everyone drank the Kool-Aid, and nobody questioned whether or not they'd tell us if we were overexposed or there had been an open box etc. Now, I'd really wonder. The courier who had the Radioactive shipper died in his 40's from an extremely rare form of head/neck cancer, quite possibly associated to him hauling 50 TI's in his van for years. Once, as a ramp agent, we had a "Hot Flight" where there was zero paperwork for the Radioactive. The only way we knew was that the Prima-7 readings in the bellies were high, yet there was nothing indicating the presence of II and II Bar on the plane. IMO, the plane needed to sit until it was all positively sorted out. Naturally, I was overruled by management. The sort was allowed to progress as usual, and we taped-off the bellies and a single can that was up top with III Bar. Eventually, we got the correct paperwork. I know you always say my history is a complete lie, but, once again, these are all true. I would think that Fred would ALWAYS put profit before employees, and that would include Covid-19. What are you doing at Station One to safeguard both of you? [/QUOTE]
