[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1043295, member: 14668"] (a) If I am involuntarily pulled off the road to "train" on reciting drivel, and a junior employee runs my route and makes overtime, I [I]will[/I] file a grievance and be paid for that overtime. I can [I]gurantee[/I] that the company will get tired of paying me OT to sit in the office a [I]lot[/I] quicker than I will get tired of sitting there and earning it. (b) I work safely[I] in spite[/I] of UPS policies, procedures and expectations, not [I]because[/I] of them. (c) When its time for you to train your children to drive a car, will you order a $25,000 vehicle from the factory and then instruct the factory to [I]delete[/I] the airbags, substitute manual steering for power, replace the 3 point seatbelt with a functionally useless lap belt, and install a low-backed seat with no padding or lumbar support so that you can save yourself $500 on the purchase price? Or do you care [I]enough[/I] about your children that you will invest at least a minimal amount of money in basic safety hardware? (d) When it comes to my willing participation in helping the company to pass a Keter audit, I will put the [I]same[/I] level of effort into regurgitating acronyms as the company puts into providing safe equpment, safe facilities, and a safe work enviornment for its employees. In other words.....what the company will get from me is the [I]absolute bare minimum [/I]that I am legally and contractually obligated to provide, and not a[I] damn [/I]bit more. [/QUOTE]
