Morning stretches

3 done 3 to go

In control of own destiny
WAD.

That said, your level of physical participation is only limited by your own abilities.


I have been leading the stretch for about 2 yes now. Some how I was assigned. But, its OK. I basically just say stretch what you feel needs it. I know what I feel might help me.
But, reality guys. I do it cause there are cameras every where. Inside and out. I will do a few seconds of stretches. Just to cover my ass. Imagine, not stretching for 5 to 10 seconds. Then leaving the building. Then getting an injury. Do you believe UPS wouldn't look at the video? To me it's worth the few seconds.

NFL players have the highest technology sports training and still manage to get injured. I feel like the bulked out loads are causing more of my aches and pains and potential for injury than anything. If I could find these cameras, I’d be giving middle fingers.

Big difference between UPS and the NFL. Those guys are paid to excell their bodies physical limits most of the games. Half of theirs bodies can do it for a few yes. One of you guys can ck the avg NFL career. Think its around 7 yrs.
There are cameras ever where. They have tried to use them for another injury against one of our drivers for another issue. Just play the game for a few seconds. Like everything else with this job. CYA

When was the last time, you went to a Local monthly meeting.... got on the mic and brought this up in front of everybody ? (on the record)


"Because the meetings are an embarrassment. They sound like the biggest idiots who run the Union. It is embarrassing to listen to their logic." @3 done 3 to go


I'm starting to see, what the real problem is.

Stretching is not a condition of employment. It is more of a peer pressure tactic. If someone got injured during a PCM stretching that would be unfortunate.

So what? Theyre going to apply a condition of employment thats not negotiated and charge you with what? Failure to follow?
So you come in late from your dot med exam and refuse to leave the building until youve stretched, causing service failures of next days and theyre going to use video against you then?

Maybe we should just go to our pkg cars and stretch during pretrip for 15 min or so. You know, squat to ck for belts hanging and fluids leaking under the motor, stretch out your shoulders hanging on the hand rails like a spider monkey, and stretch out the calves bending over to chain the rear door. It would get the customers thinking about fitness as they reached for their wallets to pay the over the counter rates.

Why would anyone participate in stretching that is not led by a certified athletic trainer?


Starting next week, the safety committee has come up with a new routine.

Are you kidding me? Our center manager was laughing as they shoved the new morning calisthenics up our ass...some suck ass safety committee “union member” demonstrating some aerobic B.S.!! They tell us it is not an option!! We WILL do them!! If we get to stretch on the clock...then never again will they have a reason to blame me for an overextended break...just preparing for the last 4 hrs of my day!
Fake back strain after PCM. Cite cause as forced streching.
