File workmans comp due to stress from being constantly watched.

It's there.


Section 6. Technology and Discipline

"No driver shall be discharged based solely upon information received from GPS, telematics, or any successor system that similarly tracks or surveils a driver’s movements unless he/she engages in dishonesty (defined for the purposes of this paragraph as any intentional act or omission by an employee where he/she intends to defraud the Company)."


It will be re-defined.

Stop worrying.

What it will be is a tool for constant harrassment.

So before everyone gets worked up into a tizzy, and this thread turns into a hundred pages of speculation....

If Freight has this language, so will UPS.

.... and in the meantime?

So its blocking the drivers view at intersections? Nice!

 

[undies]

Looks like facial recognition too?

If this camera is really true I don't see how UPS will be able to get anyone to be a driver anymore.

40 bucks an hour----they won't have any problems getting people---keeping them will be a different story.

We've had them in our trucks since before I started. We always tear off a sticky piece of an infonotice and cover them. lel Every single one in the trucks at our center are covered.

And how long was that
Because I absolutely do not want to see these things.
As a dropout Computer Science kid. This reeks of the "Internet of S%*7" that is to say something that claims to be technologically advanced but is actually just manual peer-to-peer surveillance equipment. Similar to the ring door bell. And this useless crap is why I dropped out in the first place. You can't be passionate about work when all computer technical related fields are stupid corporate dumpsterfires.

I think you're thinking of the lens on the backing camera monitor. Thats not a actual camera.

 

[It will be fine]

Lots of over reactions here. I have them installed in my fleet. I don’t check on them terribly often. I get alerts for g-force events that show the driver doing something wrong, cell phone in hand, no seatbelt etc. No one has time to watch drivers all day. My guys forget the cameras are there after a day.

God Bless, glad I retired. I thought they had maxed out micromanagement.

Sorry but FedEx Ground is just a step above Amazon delivery. You don't care as long as the stuff gets delivered.. You can't compare a FedEx ground contractor to UPS. UPS will monitor it constantly and write drivers up to harass them.
