[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 314843, member: 13921"] I am a co-chair and almost everyday, I question whether or not it is worth it. I run a regular route every day. I have had 1 day off route for training. I start half hour early, 2-3 days a week to prepare demos, sit through safety calls or attend a safety meeting. I bring all the concerns that are brought to me, back to management. For what??? To be routinely derided while walking to my package car. The goal of our safety committee is to help our coworkers make it to retirement injury free. Why is that such a hard effen concept to understand????? I have had 3 8-hour requests "granted" with 10+ hour planned days. I regularly run +.15- +.65, so I completely missed the events that an 8-hour would have allowed. It MIGHT be worth it, if, maybe there were some perks on my route (lighter day on safety days, etc.), but I sure as hell don't see it. I work the methods and when things get out of hand, I call and ask for help or an air meet or someone to cover pickups or whatever. Every employee can make the decision to work safe or not. If you decide to not work safe, than suffer the consequences and get the :censored::censored::censored::censored: off my back. TB [/QUOTE]
