[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 3609652, member: 26800"] To My Fellow UPS Workers, The purpose of this discussion thread is not to gripe or complain about conditions at UPS, management, the Union or for that matter anything at all about UPS. The sole purpose of this discussion thread is to discuss the following work-related issue with other employees as an initial step in engaging in some concerted activity to bring this issue up to the company as a group. It is my hope that by addressing this issue in concert we not only be working for our own mutual aid, protection and improved working conditions, but we will be working for the benefit of any and all coworkers that may have been adversely affected by this issue. It was brought to the attention of Integrity that a worker at a UPS facility was observed working under a golf cart style industrial vehicle that was raised up on the forks of a forklift. Not sure if it was a UPS employee or outside service but it sounds like someone was working on one of the irregular tugs or similar equipment in this manner. I have looked into some information on forklift safety and there doesn't seem to be anything that justifies this type of use or repair. Maybe some discussion may shed some light as to whether this is a safety concern or if it is just an acceptable practice in industry. My first thoughts are that it is not acceptable.
