[QUOTE="Boywondr, post: 4458135, member: 77695"] I doubt that. Some management saves the fire and brimstone for their Thursday meetings. Most centers employ more than 25 drivers like yours did. There's not an atmosphere in the larger buildings whereas the boss can be Jed and the workers Jethro. They can whine about the aging workforce having physical problems but they know it's coming, given that we are loaded up 40-50% more than in the 90s when the top seniority drivers came into the system. Our workers comp occurrences have always been extremely high and the massive size and weight of irregs and furniture arent helping us with longevity. We have drivers in their late 40s getting multiple shoulder and joint surgeries. Those same drivers are the strongest built guys I know and they work out regularly. It's the new norm at ups. Even if you use the methods and call for teamster help the work is very taxing on your body. Keep jacking up the stops and repetitive injuries will be jacked up as well. [/QUOTE]
