[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 5348130, member: 26800"] To those who have the determination, courage, and will to stand up for what they believe is right in a difficult company environment and “blow the whistle” on UPS when needed. I have found that blowing the whistle and being known as someone who will blow the whistle has dramatically changed my ability to get things changed through ordinary internal processes at UPS. Although being a whistle blower at UPS has brought some strain to my relationships with my local management and some of my “company men” coworkers it has been far better for me when trying to do the right thing. When I bring up issue’s now they definitely take me seriously because they know I only bring up issues that I am serious enough to go to outside agencies with. I make it crystal clear that I desire to resolve my issue “in house” through normal internal processes but I will go outside if I am not satisfied with the internal response and outcome. The great paradox I find as an employee who “blows the whistle” is it seems by law that I have greater rights and protections than those who are maimed or killed by the “blame the worker” negligent safety culture at UPS. I believe all UPS employees should know that, generally speaking, you can’t sue your employer or your coworkers for negligence due to worker’s compensation laws in most states and when you are are maimed or killed at UPS even when it is the result of negligence it is very difficult for you or your loved ones to hold UPS accountable for this negligence. However if you are ever experience retaliation as the result of trying to get UPS to follow their own policies and procedures, training, or safety and health policies and procedures there is no law preventing you from filing a lawsuit in these cases, whistleblower blower lawsuits are actually encouraged. This is true whether you are utilizing internal company reporting processes or you are force to go to an outside agency of some sort such as OSHA for example. If OSHA is the outside agency used when “blowing the whistle” on UPS and you are retaliated against OHSA has clear guidance about how to proceed. Again to all you UPS Whistle Blowers out there.
