I have something to say to those of you who think, or thought the OP was bsing about anything.
About a year ago I posted on this forum, under a different name, about my experience in driver helping. I was hired in August of 2011. I was, and still pretty much am, new to UPS, for the most part. In November of that year I started driver helping. Management knew that I was a "hard worker", so they put me with a "runner gunner". I was not then, nor am I now, athletic. I am not a runner. My knees and my body are not accustomed to it.
I worked with this guy for one day. He got sick, then I worked with a coverage driver on that route for two days, before the weekend. I ran my ass off. Nobody instructed me about the importance of using the hand rail. Nobody instructed me not to run. In fact, the drivers expected it. I started to experience sever pain in my right knee. I would have described this as the worst pain I have felt in recent (last 15+ years) memory. I started to limp like a cripple, and began taking Aleve, twice daily, for long enough that it began upsetting my stomach - possibly causing inflammation. My work in preload was suffering.
I spoke to management about this. I told them that I cannot run. Not one person told me that I should not have been running. I posted this exact information here, and 80% of the responses were about how I was bsing. No way in hell would management not have told me this. Right...
I stuck it out for another week-ish with this driver - the gunner. When we met up, I delivered to businesses. He sorted and setup the truck. When we got to residentials, I setup the shelves and prepared the next stops while he ran them. I worked preload, so I definitely knew how to organize crap. For some reason he still came to me every morning and asked if I could help him that day, until they found a suitable replacement. He still felt I was better than nothing. Eventually I had to stop helping for a week and a half while my knee recovered.
Most of you laughed at this. You said no way in hell is any of it true. A lot of you are idiots, or blind, or both.
This year, absolutely nothing has changed. When driver helper season began, a sup approached me about helping. He was offering me a spot to help on a mall route, thinking that it would be easier on my knees. At this time, I mentioned that such and such wants to help this season as well. He said, "well she's a runner". Meaning, she'd be better off helping on a route that requires running. This came out of a sups mouth. I have never, not once, heard a sup tell me, or anyone else not to run. I have, not once, heard them lecture anyone about safety - about using seat belts, or hand rails, or anything.
I'm not sure what magical buildings you all work out of where this is given any priority, but this is not one of them.
Nothing the OP has stated sounds unusual to me. The driver I helped all of December in 2011 stares at women/girls as if they are pieces of meat. I helped him several times this year, and he still does the same. This one girl looked, to me, like she was 14-16. I can only imagine how he would treat a female helper.
The OP is in a bad situation. If she quits, she will never be able to work at UPS again in any capacity. Since she has stood up to him about the touching, we can only hope that the driver requests another helper. And maybe they put her with someone else rather than letting her go. Hopefully they are in need of helpers where she is, like they are here. They seem to bug the crap out of insiders here, to help.
