[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 75825, member: 484"] Safety is a big issue this year at UPS. Several years ago, I raised a ruckus when one of my co workers wanted to be a co-chair to work with me on the safety committee. Finally they relented and allowed our unit to have two hourly co-chairs. Fast forward to this year. It was mandated that each unit now must have two hourly co chairs. I think they saw many of the benefits that we saw in safety improvements, and since in many cases the hourly co-chair is a driver with many years service, there are at least 8 or 9 weeks that they are off. With two co-chairs, the amount of time that the unit is without a co-chair is greatly reduced. Also, It would seem that they now want the co-chairs to spend at least 28-32 hours each month taking care of safety committee business. Basically that means that the co-chair now will spend 1 day a week in the center doing nothing but safety concerns. So yes, safety is a big issue. To make a lot of money is good. But the idea is to be able to keep some of it. If you made 100 grand a year, but were only able to hold on to 5 of them, what good did it do you to make 100. It goes back to the "don't work harder, work smarter" philosophy. IF we work smarter and safer, we will make more money on the same packages we now have. As for service issues, in the last two years they have seemed to have dropped the ball. I hope that they fix it before we get burned. d [/QUOTE]
