[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 191668, member: 9789"] We do hire deaf people to work for us. My first encounter wiht a deaf person was on the metro unload line. I heard packages slamming onto the metro unloader. i went to talk with the hubperson and the person ignored me. I thought the person was not working as directed until I got in his face to find out why he refused to acknowledge my comments. That is when I found out he was deaf. He was also mute. Honestly I was flaborgasted. I couldn't beleive we would put employees like this in a situation that could be potentially unsafe. In the hub there are safeguards and there must be a mutual avenue for cummunication such as a pad and pencil. Employees are trained using a person who can sign. These employees are hard working valuble members of our team. However, the jury is out on being able to drive without hearing. I am not sure that this task may be too challenging even for the most adept hearing impared employees. [/QUOTE]
