[QUOTE="NHDRVR, post: 510668, member: 10327"] I would hope you take it upon yourself to work safely. You do this for you and your family. UPS as a company wants production first, not your health. Corporate doesn't care about your 'rights'. They care about getting cardboard from point A to B. YOU have to be responsible for yourself. It's quite simple, really. As far as contractual obligations that are supposed to be met, a steward could speak (write) about this with greater clarity but do your best to understand your contract. The best thing any driver can do for themselves is to know what's expected from you on a daily basis. Not the fake sporh numbers or inflated stop count but the actual number you can safely meet and not get your chain yanked on a daily basis. Contrary to popular opinion, individual drivers all have a number that mgmt. is happy with. Mine is between .75 and a buck paid over. I am NEVER bothered, ever, about my paid day and since I know my route blindfolded I can pretty much do what I want. I know this isn't the case in other centers, believe me, I know. Having said that, I follow my methods as well as I can and I honestly try to do a great job every day. I don't cause trouble, I can deal with both union and mgmt. issues and I am proud to be considered a 'boring' driver in regards to paperwork. I don't turn up on anything of consequence and that's how I like it. I never understood drivers who love arguing about things they know don't make a dent in their actual day. For example; The G.O. wants a certain belt to run an avg. of 130 sporh so the on-road decides to OJS a couple of drivers to see their routes (I know it's to bust balls). That on-road is being told to do this. 9 times out of 10 he/she doesn't want to deal with a 3-day ride but we just gotta live with it. A Rodney King qoute comes to mind here. [/QUOTE]
