[QUOTE="SleepyD315, post: 2891689, member: 67347"] So i was wondering what should actions or steps a pre-loader like myself or a group should do about the unsafe conditions of our building. Our local 315 removed our safety committees because management was going out of there way to use safety violations as a way to punish employees. Not to mention management has been making our start times as late as 4/4:15/4:30am when we are the 3rd busiest hub in the region. Besides rapidly jamming packages down our throats for 3-3.5hrs before they gave us our union breaks back.(yes there were at least 10+ work shifts with no breaks ever called but I digress). The main issue I have is that since our building is deemed "unsafe" myself and a few other pre-loaders have been injured due to the conditions. One of my co-workers even had a head injury which caused her brain to bleed and she is suffering short term memory loss at the age of 41 and she is a single parent. So what steps or actions can anyone provide to help improve the safety and quality of work at my hub? Our local 315 is strong but would someone reaching out to OSHA help? [/QUOTE]
