[QUOTE="Cole, post: 215679, member: 9507"] And Tie wanted to see proof of brain damage! I'll stay w/ UPS and continue to make issues out of things I deem unsafe and plain ridiculous. It's all about costs/bonuses! I am primarily talking about good ventilation for the backs of the trucks, and a better fan than we have now in the cab. Also we pay the union and that pay includes this bogus climatic conditions committee, and I for one want to see them earning their keep. I have roofed houses a bit, and done this job, and both are tough no doubt. Not much fun hauling bundles of shingles up to the roof, but I wasn't paying a union to look out for my interests while I was doing it. This job is more fast paced and is no cake walk. I could think of other unpleasant hot jobs, but my concerns are w/fellow UPS brethren, who do consider this a big issue. I remember yrs ago we kept asking about fans before there was language in the contract, and the union ba, would always ask a certain driver what he thought, and he alsways said he had no need for a fan, so finally I said, well everybody but John Doe, wants one, so get us one, and leave his truck w/out. On some days if there is a good breeze/wind it's tolerable, but on those scorchers, w/ no breeze it's really rough, and it's not just the rookies I worry about it's also our senior drivers, and w/current pension ages, there will be drivers at 60 + yrs old out there. Just something else to think about;) Oh and Go vold, I was just joking w/ you about the brain damage. My younger brother who I call "heat miser" wont run the ac, where he lives in Va, as he hates it to be cold, and he runs a golf shop there, and he tells me in the summer the folks come in and ask if "something is wrong with the ac/ and of course he tells them no, he just doesn't need it now!" Why?! Because he's Mr. Heat Miser, and right now I will dedicate the following clip to you. Snow miser is first then heat miser. lol [MEDIA=youtube]yon2YuXssvo[/MEDIA] Snow Miser - Heat Miser [/QUOTE]
