[QUOTE="browned out, post: 3824381, member: 8105"] Methods are Methods. We are all trained in the methods and procedures. The problem is when UPS selectively enforces methods; and disciplines disparately. For example, a driver forgets to service cross a few packages while another driver is speeding, is rolling stop signs and is running instead of walking. All 4 of these mistakes are method infraction violations. 3 are safety issues and 1 is a procedural issue. The only driver who receives discipline is the driver who forgot to service cross the pkgs. That's trouble for UPS. The problem occurs when UPS retaliates against a driver because that driver is over-allowed, or retaliates against a driver who addresses safety concerns, retaliates against a driver who is advanced in age, retaliates against a driver with an ADA issue, retaliates against a driver who is active in the union, or UPS retaliates against a driver based on race or sex. That is when grievances need to be filed. And then if not resolved; The NLRB, OSHA or other agencies need to be contacted. UPS knows and has concrete records that prove package car drivers are speeding, rolling stop signs, and UPS even has the technology to show that drivers are running instead of walking at a brisk pace. (engine off, bulkhead opened, bulkhead closed, stop is 100 yards away, stop complete, car ignition on and rolling all in 15 seconds, etc.) Yet; UPS does nothing to correct these hazardous behaviors. This is where UPS technology and reports will get UPS into trouble if UPS continues to retaliate and discipline disparately. Follow the methods. [/QUOTE]
