[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 708493, member: 26800"] Integrity is very concerned with the disparity of the level of safety that is provided by UPS Corporate Automotive to UPS employees in the cab area of the UPS Package Cars. Package Car Drivers are the ones mainly effected by this disparity, but it also effects management employees who may drive or ride the jump seat in an older UPS Package Car. A Corporate decision to not upgrade the driver's seat, the driver's seat belt, and the jump seat backrest on older UPS Package Cars with more modern safer accessories, like the ones in the newer UPS Package Cars, when it is possible to do so, is just not right. Using the excuse that the UPS Package Cars cannot be modified for liability purposes is a very weak excuse. Let's be reasonable here, installing a shoulder harness seat belt, changing the driver's seat, and installing a cushion backrest for the jump seat can hardly be considered modifications to the vehicle. Why should some drivers or passengers be put in jeopardy of having their heads slammed into the bulkhead wall, while others have high back seats or cusioned backrests? Why should some drivers be afforded the safety of shoulder harness seat belts while others are provided lap belts only? [B]Everyone[/B] knows that shoulder harness seatbelts are the modern standard for safety . This may not be a concern of yours, but it is a concern of mine. I am not sure how I am going to pursue this concern yet, but as soon as I do I will post it in the blogs. While I am formulating my plan. I welcome any and all constructive discussion about this issue. You are free to agree. I also expect to hear the usual responses from the usual sources and I welcome that too. You are certainly free to disagree. Sincerely, [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=6]I[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
