Lol sounds like we didn’t win anything in the contract. They were going to force this anyway might as well make it look like it was a negotiated item before the government forced them….

Have you considered drinking water? Cutting down on the booze and Monster / Red Bull / etc? Have you tried not being fat?

I’m just saying bc all of these things have worked for me. I don’t need help from OSHA, not that some line of text in a rulebook nobody reads or follows is actually helpful in the first place.

15 minute paid break every 2 hours when over 95* heat index. Sounds good to me.

We get a half hour lunch break unpaid, and a 10 minute break paid and hardly anybody takes the 10 minute break I doubt anyone would use the 15 minutes either because they just wanna go home.

Are they transferable? I’ll take everyone’s lol. I get to go home at 14hrs either way. 15 Every 2 hours is about 1.5hrs less work I gotta do that’s about 8-10stops I’ll have to give up.

How did the pre-air conditioning generation survive working in hot conditions much worse than anything a UPS driver faces? Oh yea, they were men.

When men were men.

And so were the women.

For sure.

Meanwhile in China they will be happy to take many of these jobs from us.

Take as much time as you need. Seriously man… be safe. Throw it back on them. Safe by choice, not chance. Cool solutions. My body, my choice.

Remember when you were a kid, your parents said, eat your vegetables there’s kids in China starving!
