Speaking of Safety,
Recently in an effort to stick safety to UPS, I mentioned bringing anti-fatigue matting to all clerical stations. Currently, there are many stations in our building that do not have clerical matting. Approximately 30-40.
What I was told, after the request was passed on from FT management into the HSC, that because the request would require matting at all of the stations, no matting would be provided. However, they would give me a portable mat for personal use.
With my knees and back having pain and fatigue, I cannot be alone. Standing on hard cement surfaces and uneven grating for many hours at a time in the same position can have adverse effects on the human body. Thus, infact, there is language in our national agreement! with regards to clerical anti-fatigue mats.
This is what I mean by SAFETY SHAM at UPS. I will certainly rally up as many clerks as possible and RAM safety down UPS's throat. This is completely BS, IMO. That since the company will be forced to give matting to ALL employees, it will NOT adhere and give to only to the one requesting.
Anyone else agree? That ALL CLERKS should have PERMANENT MATTING? And this is a request worthy of going up the ladder with, given the response by the SAFETY NEGLEGENT company?
