[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 943192, member: 4886"] My Dad used to say to me. Figures don't lie, but liars sure do figure. Statement 1. One UPSer is killed each month on the job. - Are you including statistics where a person dies of a heart attack? Are you including when another drunk driver hits our driver in a car accident? If so, is that the fault of the company? If so, we should just go out of business and not deliver pkgs. Statement 3: Thousands of injuries go unreported. If that is true, then how did you gather "FACTUAL" information that something went unreported? At best, that is conjecture. Statement: Avg value of UPS life is 5K. Where did that come from? Is it from a life insurance policy, is if from what we state our costs is of hiring a new employee? Statement: Monopolistic practices:..... at the same time keeping foreign companies out of the American market. Umm. DHL which is owned by the german government quasi agency Deutch Post did come to America. They did offered great rates, but didn't put money into their infrastructure and their quality was bad. Customers left them by choice. UPS and FDX beat them by having better service. Statement: [COLOR=#333333]40 UPS drivers sued UPS in Federal court for ergonomic injuries from the design flawed computer clipboard Unforunately, in this country anyone can sue anyone for anything.
