[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2930936, member: 14176"] My building was the genesis of the egress initiative at UPS. They have been fined multiple times, as well as taken to federal court by an individual employee. Due to the building being utilized at a capacity that far exceeds it design, egress is now an issue again. My alternate steward and myself addressed the Company and the so-called "Safety Committee" on the issue last month, complete with a photo montage. In the interim, the Company has seen fit to exacerbate the problem by removing all dock plates from the building, leaving the preload even less area to stack out their sets. Also, in the meantime, I have become the first local union appointed member of the Safety Committee and will be attending all future meetings as a paid participant. I am preparing the first ever safety related grievance to be submitted by the "Committee", as provided for in Art 18 of the Master on this egress problem. If this doesn't realize immediate results, I will be soliciting OSHA for help. Game on. [/QUOTE]
