(NYSE: UPS) for allegedly failing to protect workers' safety on the job. A complaint, filed Nov. 23 in U.S. District Court in the Western District of Kentucky, calls for UPS to immediately halt the use of more than 100 lifts, which are used by workers to reach the mechanical components of the aircraft. The lifts rise as much as 25 feet off the ground. The union, Teamsters Local 2727, said in a news release that it repeatedly has raised concerns about malfunctioning lifts and truck booms that have dropped workers on multiple occasions. Earlier this month, according to the union, a 19-foot lift collapsed while a member of Local 2727 was working on the left wing of a plane. [/QUOTE]
