[QUOTE="35years, post: 4199745, member: 60822"] By the way UPS was the single largest contributor to the PAC that killed the ergonomic standard that could have prevented thousands of workplace injuries. By the way UPS unilaterally raised the wieght limit for packages from 50 to 70 then 70 to 150 lbs. In a delivery system designed for "small package". Who can even speculate how many debilitating injuries have resulted. Btw UPS consistantly lobbies to gut OSHA's regulatory power in favor of "self regulation" that has secured our claim on the most injured company workforce in the USA. UPS routinely dispatches drivers with overwhelming heavy loads by choice...cutting other drivers. One of our regional competitors prohibits their drivers from working over 10 hours because it is too dangerous to driver health and safety. So the idea that safety is only an individual responsibility, and the corporate decision makers bare no responsibility, is ridiculous. The job is intrinsically dangerous. Even following methods to a T can result in injuries, especially to your joints. [/QUOTE]
