[QUOTE="soberups, post: 489402, member: 14668"] Your statement is incorrect. UPS doesnt spend "millions of dollars" on safety training so that we can do our jobs safely. They spend the absolute bare minimum amount of money required in order to pass a Keter audit and avoid being fined by OSHA. Like you, I also "admire a company that would spend its money on my safety." Unfortunately, the company [U]I[/U] work for... UPS... is not that company. The company I work for made a [U]business decision[/U] that the life of its employees was not worth the additional $40 expense of equipping its vehicles with 3-point seat belts. The company I work made a [U]business decision[/U] that the long-term physical health of its employees was not worth the additional $450 expense of equipping its vehicles with power steering. Have you ever sat in or tried to work out of a P500, P800 or an older P-1000? Every single feature that might help to keep the driver alive in a collision or help him/her to work without pain and fatigue has been [U]intentionally deleted[/U] in order to save UPS a meaningless amount of money....the same money that you praise UPS for supposedly being willing to spend on our "safety". Quit reading your Safety Committee propaganda and start living in the real world. [/QUOTE]
