[QUOTE="Swanson, post: 4967386, member: 88203"] There is no other solution.This is an on going problem,it is happening to all my co-workers, if it continues is going to result in a union brother or sister in the hospital or even worse.When I see my BA I'll ask about a safe committee,I am willing to join and talk to the loaders and unloaders since safety is the lowest priority at my hub.This isn't my first rodeo either I was a stevedore on the waterfront for 9 years,this is on the unit manager rushing trying to get his unloaders off the pay roll.The most likely result is the unit manager giving all his unloaders a safety speech regarding the issue(Which should be done everyday by the way) If the unloaders continue to do it after that that's their own reckless decision,I wouldn't lose any sleep at night if they were disciplined or even lost their job,on the waterfront we call people like that dunnage btw.(I doubt ups could fire all the unloaders or any in our building because nobody would replace them at 15.33 an hour 3.5 hours) I work for this criminal company that was to ripping me off shaving my timecard I had to learn how to file a grievance to defend myself,and not be like the rest of the sheep in my building who are too scared.In all honesty the way things are a safety committee that appears out of thin air isn't going to change anything it's a nice idea though,and I'll get involved in any way I can(Thanks for the tip) [/QUOTE]
