Im a safety committee member for our sort and Im a contract defender. Lets just say management does not enjoy it when I make my way toward them.
In the past, we had some egress problems and I put it on the concern log during the safety meetings and then told the full time supe the possibility of filing grievance/OSHA claim. Egress problems went away just like that. Now they are back. I went to him and he basically said it was my job to tell the loader causing the egress to stop it. The loader causing the egress is a combo-guy, nice guy, he just lacks the physical ability to do his job in combination with management sending the flow so hard at him. I told my supervisor its not my job to instruct him. I dont want to get this guy pissed, what I want is the flow to be controlled or for him to get help from fellow employees. Im not even in his area its just this area happens to be by the bathroom.
Anyways my supervisor says because im on the safety comittee that I have to tell him to watch his egress. I believe that its not my job to figure what the problem is since Im not a supervisor but a worker who was just trying to maintain the companys integrity on safety first. What are peoples opinions on this. I may add that I do not file grievances on supervisors cleaning egress as long as their not loading but just making a legal path.
