[QUOTE="Boywondr, post: 4466126, member: 77695"] For literally weeks the local management did absolutely nothing for our workers. People were shoulder to shoulder on the sort isle, pcms were still being held as usual, safety rides given. Fed up, as a last resort a steward checked on upser.com and found the company's weeks old mandates for distancing and adopted CDC guidelines for employee/employee/management interaction plus the sanitizing outline laid out for all buildings. They printed off the info and called a meeting with management, our local officers, other shift stewards, and safety committee personnel. It took two more weeks to finally get most all of the changes put into play (it was a very stubborn fight) but with some outside help, broad spectrum negative media exposure, and threatening them with osha intervention we can report that it's much better today. Being straight up... this whole virus cluster is not our fault. Not mine, not the UPS Teamsters, and not the company's. But we are stuck with it right now and we all have a responsibility to obey the legal mandates laid down by the CDC. Our management wouldn't have fulfilled their own corporate responsibilities if not for our local union intervening and Teamsters standing up for their coworkers and themselves. You can say what you want but from our perspective nothing's changed at our building. Even if people die from contracting the virus at or during work, it's still all about the bottom line, still about packages. [/QUOTE]
