[QUOTE="local804, post: 169558, member: 1123"] Tooner- There was a class action a few years back re: carp tunnel and I never heard anything else about it. The one person I knew that had that surgery, I do not see anymore. I guess its one of those things that you really dont look into unless you fall into the category. A few years back I didnt even think about retirement and never payed any attention to it, but now my ears are fully open. Channahon- Yes, the cameras were installed per UPS-Teamster agreement and I think that was probably the best $300. per car UPS has spent. Now please correct me if I am wrong...Isnt it true that this agreement was infact due to a childs death? Could the death have been prevented if their was a camera on the car before the accident? I am 100% for safety of all my workers and myself. I want every single UPS person to be able to walk in their door the way they left it in the morning. Just my idea on safety has nothing to due with numbers, quotas, and total business plan bonuses. Do you think that the driver goes out looking to get hurt? I dont think you do and neither does the driver. If UPS wants to spend millions on sensors to tell them if a UPS employee has their bulkhead door open or if he was going in reverse for too long, so be it. I would rather them handle the real safety issues first. 1. 150 lb packages- Lets be serious 2. Diesel exhaust 3. 90-95 p1000- steps 23 inches (yes we measured) 4. Repetitive motions- how many times to you shift, enter car ect. 5. Ice - on roads or walkways there really isnt a safe way 6. Package car ventilation- Hot summer day after lunch 128 degrees( you guessed it, meat thermometer) Did you know UPS has 2 times the national averege for osha reportable injuries?(reporting for light duty for 30 days- not osha reportable) [/QUOTE]
