[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5294068, member: 76643"] I've considered getting on the safety committee in order to put a stop to nonsense like this -- and also to lay out the hostile nature of our work environment to the rookies. Drivers' unsafe habits, like rolling stop signs, are a reflection of the company's training. The company is always pushing people to bend the rules and to sacrifice safety for productivity. Also, most drivers want to get home. Of course it's on us to refuse that bargain, but let's face it: we have to do so collectively, as a union. I tell the burners (our "runner gunners") that I want to get home too, but rushing and cutting corners to do it is a failed strategy. "There's no individual solution to a collective problem." I was talking with a rookie last week. Turns out his horn stopped working during his air run. The mechanic and his supe both basically told him to just "be extra careful." Lacking confidence, and feeling the pressure to "get it done," he delivered the entire route without a horn. I traded numbers with him and made sure he had all the stews' numbers too. Told him to call me anytime he gets in a situation like this. [/QUOTE]
