[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1053489, member: 12570"] We have had 5 women package car drivers in my center in the 23 years I have worked here. One left to work for another company where the schedule allowed her to spend more time with her family. Another was fired for using profanity in front of a customer. A 3rd is still technically employed but has been out of work due to an injury for so long that most have stopped asking about her. We had one that worked her entire 30+ years and retired--while not a gorilla she was not a princess by any means. The one remaining has also had medical issues and there is some uncertainty as to how long she will last. We do have a female feeder driver who will most certainly finish her career and retire in good standing. There is a female preloader who drives during Peak. The job is a physical one but I don't agree that you have to be built like a gorilla to perform it. I am 6', 165 lbs.---certainly not the biggest guy around--- but I follow the safe work methods and for the most part have been injury free. My knees are starting to ache and I may have lost a step but I can still outperform any of the much younger casuals who cover my area. [/QUOTE]
