Guard Shack, Guns, Security

[cachsux]

We have brand new No Guns Allowed signs, both verbal and graphic, at every entrance this week.
I asked the guard if they were allowed before? He only laughed.

Our guards are just rent-a-cops who never had guns.

I think it would be better if the guards had them.

If true? Good thing the sup didn't commit work place shooting suicide.

Only USPS is allowed to go postal. I think it has something to do with seeing the inside of mailboxes.

Wonder how he brought a gun into UPS. At my hub security is worse than TSA, practically strip search us. Very sad, rip

You can easily bring a gun in my facility. Not to mention the people that get passes to bring their entire vehicle in

Years ago a driver picked his gun up on his route during lunch and brought it back to the hub and even got a property pass for it. A temp wrote the pass. The driver was later fired but it's very easy to get guns in even if you walk thru the guard shack. Not to mention anyone can just drive right in. There's no gate

I don't know about your hub, but at mine, as long as you have your id, no one looks twice at you on the way in, and there are no metal detectors on that side. We definitely get tsa'd on the way out, though.

Same in my building....it'd be no problem to bring a weapon into work. It's a scary thought...

 

[oldngray]

Here they only checked people entering if someone threatened management. Then a couple of weeks later back to just flashing ID as you enter.

Only the largest facilities have security. And the security generally isn't there to prevent you from bringing weapons, etc. into the building, but instead to ensure that you're not walking out with iPads, etc. (stealing). In my building, there is no metal detector when you walk into the building, nor do they search your belongings. Just when you leave.

We had NO security at my center. You were free to come and go in and out of any door in the building. No gates or fences. No one gave a rats butt if you were carrying a lunch box or a suitcase to or from your package car or private car. Just an open building with a parking lot. Most of the time there wasn't any management hanging around in the evenings----especially on Fridays. Every full time employee and some of the part time had their own key to the building. For many years we were allowed to use the building on weekends to work on our own cars or wash them. They only stopped that practice because some shade tree mechanic just about caught the building on fire using starter fluid and management heard about it. We only had one case of theft that I know of in the 30 years I was there. A gal loader stole a pair of blue jeans out of an open box and got caught.

That was back when UPS actually trusted its employees. And respected them.

At CACH, we get fingered so you don't have to.

Is that why Indecisi0n wants to transfer there? Or was that Upstate?

davetri, what do you mean worse than TSA? It has been my experience that TSA has always treated me fairly.

Actually a lot of what I posted is still true now. Except that now days there is so much management one of them is always hanging around-----except on Friday evenings.

 

[WorknLateHuh]

There is absolutely no security at my hub except for cameras... you bring whatever you want into the building into basically any door you want.

When drivers get back to the center most of them drop their stuff off at their car which is basically a stones throw from the air doors. yea our hub is tiny.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

We don't even have cameras or anything resembling a fence.

I feel it's just a matter of time before a major gun incident occurs.
