Bubblers? You from the Uk?We recently got nice new bubblers. The kind where you can fill your water jug with. Real cold water. Hell yeah!
About what?Sometimes I'm tempted to just call them anonymously....
don’t be mad you can’t grow one , I can’t even tell you how many women have been after me since my beard..To eradicate the disease going around that requires a person to grow a beard.There must be a lot of touchy feely going around..I've never seen a sickness spread so fast..its worse than the measles..
What was this about? I just got back.About what?
And why anonymously?

Yes, why are the interior of trucks never cleaned? Not taking about trash but the dust accumulated. Sometimes have to wipe just to read instrument panel.

We drive on-roads crazy every morning because we take the time to clean our windshields and mirrors that are always spotted and streaked from car wash the night before.Cleanliness of package cars. Car wash does a terrible job, most windows are barely able to see out from dirt glare in the morning or evening sun. Drivers leave trash and piss bottles in every truck. Truly a bunch of cavemen. Most days you don’t get the same car as the day before.

However they will set up a power wash station with soap so you can spray out your package car insides (on the clock) if you want.
It's an on-going fight between on-road, sunrise and twilight as to who's going to get charged the hours for keeping the cars clean.
Most drivers just live with the filth, wading through ankle high trash and peering through gunked up windshields.
The chains and sprockets are unguarded as well as pinch points between the cages when they make the 180° turn at the upper and lower radius. Potential for pinching at every cages casters as they go around track also. The boxline at our hub has 2x2 mesh around the framing to prevent someone crawling inside and getting to chains and sprockets. This is somewhat effective but there are areas that are easy to access and be exposed to chains and sprockets.Was speaking with a Maintenance mechanic and he told me about some safety issues concerning the Boxline conveyor system.
He said there was some blatant unguarded pinch points.
Anyone observe the same?

Not really pinch points but we successfully got our boxlines inspected such that certain sharp edges were sanded down. I would suggest if anyone has a run-down boxline to coordinate with their BA to get them inspected by safety kiddos since cuts and scrapes (while they are often minor) remain our most common injury.Was speaking with a Maintenance mechanic and he told me about some safety issues concerning the Boxline conveyor system.

It was in response to your reply to this discussion.What was this about? I just got back.
You don’t have to be management to make changes. 3 step process can sometimes work for Safety issues.And while your question is legitimate, I haven't really seen a response that qualifies for OSHA level.
It does show(the responses) how nasty and grueling the job is. All of this nastiness is condoned and
required from mgt. From the CEO down. They get their money from "good numbers" at any cost.
Water fountains, ice machines, nasty bathrooms.....I don't use any of them....just too nasty.
Finally, you don't call OSHA because it's hot or cold. Or the work sucks. You work one day and you
know what it's like. Accept it or not. I have for 40 years. It's like I've been at 2 a days football practice.
In August. Remember, Amazon folks are experiencing the same....you are being paid 150% more.
Does that make it ok? For me...a little. And like I've been told-"want to make changes?" Get promoted.
My experience with my Local has been awesome, the Executive Board are some of the hardest workers and I have the utmost of respect for what they do.Yep. Anything to deflect and charge/blame someone else. Union's the same way.
We are periodically told "No washing or fueling". But then you walk up to dispatch and say " I can't
leave because my tractor doesn't have fuel or I can't see out the windows because of bug splatter".
They say " Your just being difficult, we didn't mean it that way". Well, what does no fueling or washing
mean? Just working as directed.
The maintenance guy I spoke with described where the cages come together after the turn as a serious pinch point. I checked it out and they do come together right where people are sorting at the high end and right where someone is loading at the low end. Do you agree with this assessment?The chains and sprockets are unguarded as well as pinch points between the cages when they make the 180° turn at the upper and lower radius.
