[QUOTE="soberups, post: 478202, member: 14668"] P-Man.... I dont for a minute doubt your honesty or integrity. I dont doubt for a minute that you are relaying the truth about Telematics as it is explained to you. But there is a fundamental disconnect here between your statements and UPS's actions. It is stated that one of the goals of Telematics is to improve compliance in terms of seat belt use and bulkhead door being closed. The fact of the matter is that the company could [U]gurantee[/U] 100% compliance by wiring the seat belt and door sensors into the starter relay, yet it chooses not to. It is also stated that one of the goals of Telematics is to improve safety. In order to implement this, the company has made a decision to remove a functionally worthless 2-point seat belt....and replace it with an identical 2-point belt that is equipped with a sensor that will allow the company to monitor usage and ultimately terminate the driver for failing to wear it. In other words, you have spent several hundred dollars per car on a system that does absolutely [U]nothing[/U] to enhance the physical safety of the driver while at the same time claiming that the system somehow "benefits" him. Can you not see the incongruity here? The complete and total disconnect between UPS's stated goals and its [U]actions?[/U] If UPS want us all to be safe then it provide all of us with safe equipment. If UPS doesnt want to spend the $$ on safe equipment then thats OK too. Please, UPS,just quit pretending that you do care about safety when your actions clearly and unequivocably show that you do not. [/QUOTE]
