[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 507531, member: 1664"] I was being very serious. UPS has the highest worker injury rate per employee in the U.S.. This is based on published info from about two years ago. I truly doubt we have become #2 in the last two years. The push on safety is not based on a concern for safety of employees, it is based on simple worker comp claims and lost time injuries costing the company( read that as bean counters) loss of profit. Just do a little Google search work, the facts are there. Our rear view cameras were installed because of a lawsuit where a young boy died. The Father of the young child did not sue for money. He sued to force UPS to make sure, as possible, that this type of accident would not occur again. UPS settled with him by installing our rear views. The old UPS was very efficient and concerned with where all pennies were spent, but at the same time had a genuine concern for it's employees. Those days have long past. So, I will lift a cup to auld lang syne. [/QUOTE]
