[QUOTE="imwell, post: 1514043, member: 27245"] jibbs makes an EXCELLENT point that everyone needs to be aware of: RTS means REFUSE TO SIGN. Refuse to Sign means you REFUSE to put ANYYHING on whatever piece of paper they put before you. It doesn't matter if you put your name, anyone else's name, your initials, the initials of RTS, a star, a checkmark, an "X", whatever. Once you put anything on that piece of paper, UPS can then say that they have presented you with that documentation. You have seen that documentation. And you have responded to / acknowledged that documentation by reason of your written response (whatever that written response may have been). I know this to be true because (I'm embarrassed to admit) shortly after I started partime with UPS back in '85, I accepted a job as a P/T Supervisor for a few years before I went friend/T driving. One of the first things I was taught to do, whenever I would present an employee with any documentation that they did not want to sign (aka: RTS), I was told to say: "That's fine. I understand. Then just write RTS down on the signature line. That way, everyone can tell that you "Refused to Sign" this document". That "RTS" was just as valid as their own name. What a horrible trick management played. Again, I'm embarrassed to admit it. I was young and dumb and drinking the Kool-Aid. Sorry for the long post, but trying to prove a major point to everyone here. If you make the decision to 'Refuse To Sign' any piece of documentation, you need to do just that: Refuse to sign / write / put ANYTHING onto that piece of paper. Hope this has been helpful. [/QUOTE]
