Ive been debating whether to say anything about this, Im not sure if other buildings have this going on. Its not a big deal, its just agitating because its UPS saying one thing but doing another.
2 or 3 times a month, the sort manager and the CHSP union chair hand out stuff like water and granola bars to people in the guard shack outside of the building when walking into work. I never take water or a granola bar because one, I have my own bottle always and two, I always eat on the way there.
But when they do hand out stuff they hand out a safety paper. Anything from good hydration to nutritional facts or 8 keys of lifting and lowering or doing stretching before and after.
I know this is pushing it, but I dont want to read something off the clock, and also I dont stretch before and after. Ill stretch in my trailer by doing the correct methods of stretching for 45 secs because you have to give enough time for the muscle to contract to even have an effective stretch.
But I hate this charade of peddaling this safety info on us but then they dont follow it by not following egress laws, not making people lift and lower correctly, letting people lift over 70s and odd incomps by themselves. Its like they preach safety but dont follow. And plus no one should have to take anything because its off the clock anyways.
Should this be a battle I take on or should I quietly let it go.
