Masks and gloves - Is your hub providing?

The managers have gloves, sanitizer and masks. We have nothing but filthy bathrooms and sometimes industrial grade paper towels. We’re also not allowed in their offices anymore. They had a new policy of putting the diads and call tags in the trucks and just sending us on our way, that lasted one day. They don’t even have the doors propped open.

Why would you want to go in the office anyway? Best case scenario is get in the truck and leave.

The reason I won't file anything to In OSHA is because OSHA dismissed the fine to Amazon because they were potentially going to open a new warehouse in our state. The current govenor convinced OSHA to get rid of the $28,000 fine for an Amazon worker dying in Sept. 2017. He was crushed by a forklift. All of the safety violations were deleted and no action against Amazon was taken. (The warehouse was not built here after all). So, you cannot trust OSHA or the cuttent govenor. Want more info: Associated Press article published Nov. 26,2019. Watch it on PBS or check out the Indianapolis Star. The safety inspector quit his job. How do people sleep at night? Oh and by the way, NO masks or gloves have arrived. Stores don't know when they will get them. Making do with what I can find.

Why didnt the family go after this? OSHA agents and their bosses can be charged and a lawsuit would've been revealing.
If it was my dad I'd never let it just go away without a fight.

I have a customer who yells at me every day for not wearing a mask, but I can’t breathe in one and my glasses fog up. I might wear my painter’s mask as it’s the only one I find comfortable; just for her. Can they fire me for the slight sarcasm???

Has this customer become upset with you to the point where he/she may not allow you to deliver there until you comply?


They can't force the driver to comply with "their" policy.


"If you prefer that your UPS driver does not deliver packages to your premises, please utilize existing UPS delivery change options including MyChoice, Vacation Planner, hold for pickup, and future delivery options to make alternate delivery arrangements."

The driver works for and is paid by UPS.

You may want to leave the Ivory Tower and mingle with the masses every once in a while.

The receiver can most certainly dictate the terms under which the vendor may enter their premises. We are basically vendors at most big box stores and must work as directed while on their property.

My first stop of the day (other than NDA) was Walmart. If Walmart were to mandate that all vendors wear face masks and I refused to comply they would be well within their rights to tell me to either comply or to pull off of their loading dock until I did comply.

Did you not click on the link, to read the company's statement to their customers ?


Your experience with Walmart is a rookie move....

Slap a delivery notice on the door and leave. The problem would be fixed that day.

You are so full of :censored2:!!

You have absolutely no clue as to what you are talking about. Within 30 seconds of me "slapping the delivery notice on the door" they will have called the center which would have been followed up with a "CALL THE CENTER!!!!" ODS which would have been followed up with a "WITF are you doing?!?!" and a meek apology by me after having backed back on to the dock to complete their delivery.

I do agree with you in one respect-----the previous receiving clerk used to think that she had the right to tell me what route I was required to take to get to their dock, which was at the back of the store. There were two main roads to get in to the shopping complex and while I would normally take the road that she "told" me to take I would sometimes have to use the other road if I had NDA for other stops within the complex. I would politely tell her that Walmart did not own the plaza and that I was free to use whichever entrance I chose.

No she still wants her stuff. Yesterday I had nothing for her, but she literally waited all day for me. I delivered 2 things to her neighbors, and she yelled at me from her porch, “Where is your mask?”, while recording me too. I said not a word to her, didn’t even looked at her. Finished my stops and left. Had another stop at the end of the block, and I could still hear her yelling at the top of her lungs. This is the hood mind you, just to paint a mental picture.

Dave....

As usual, you are out of touch with the real world.


You worked in a small building.

Things are done differently in the big city.


And we have (actual) Teamsters that aren't afraid of management.

I was under the assumption that this was a commercial stop.

That would be harassment and her stuff would be put on hold.
