Now that there are confirmed cases of the Mexican swine flu in the US does UPS have any safety procedures in place? I have always thought delivery drivers (UPS, FedX, USPS) were at high risk of contracting an illness in a pandemic. I would not like to be the one to spread an illness to my family members.

Mayor Bloomburg said a prep school took a trip to Mexico and are now being tested to see if they are sick. I thought the government warned against travelling to Mexico awhile back. What the heck was the school thinking when thay went to Mexico. They surely could've found an interesting spot INSIDE the US for a class trip. Idiots !!

Nice thought, but who do you think is going to do the work that Americans think is "beneath" them? I am talking about the migrant workers. Even way up here, we have to import Jamaicans to pick the apples because Americans are unwilling to do the work and would rather sit home and collect unemployment and/or welfare.

Tell them no one is going to sit on their arse and collect a check if they are able bodied.
I wonder did
Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard
speak in English to the masses about the pandemic, as Mayor Bloomberg spoke in Spanish about ours?
And is it just me or is this just something to divert our attention to something else, aka as fearmongering?

I can tell you this from watching things over the years, the management at my centre will crucify anyone who dares call in sick. I have witnessed management throw phones, break handsets and go into fits of rage when people have called in sick. If the driver still refused to come into work the management would call all day long harassing the driver, when the driver would return to work he would recieve addditional work and increased oversupervision.
So you ask what safety procedures UPS has in place? All I can say to that is don't stand to close to the manager taking a call from a sick employee!!!
I guess I do not speak it, so I thought he was doing a fair job
