But that would mean going against the company.Anyone running for Teamster president who makes doing away with (or covering the inward lens on)these cameras THE issue has my vote.

Sorry, but speaking for myself I don't roll over like that.Pretty soon this job is going to be just like that of a police officer. The public already films us and take pictures of us just doing our jobs, and people make YouTube videos of themselves harassing us.
Now we have UPS installing talking cameras in our vehicles to harass us every time we take a drink of water or go 1 mile over the speed limit. The cameras watch us all day for tomorrow morning’s harassment. If you are anything but perfect and you file grievances get ready to be in the office every morning for this stuff.
The next step is body cameras, and then pay cuts and concessions by the union in our contract, and this is how the company gets there. By having an electronic supervisor to ride around with us all day, every day. Watch how many of those drivers who are able to retire start doing so as early as possible.
Get rid of the experienced, “problem” drivers with a spine. Replace them with a revolving door of lower paid, hungry part timers that don’t know the contract. Weakening the union...
Even if you have mastered the methods, (which is actually impossible because there are so many of them), nobody is perfect, and when you slip up, that camera is gonna be there to capture it and put it on a plate for management.Sorry, but speaking for myself I don't roll over like that.
I can walk in Monday and quit with plenty of time in......but why? They don't and won't dictate when I want to leave.....I'm in control of that.
I adjusted my methods many many moons ago, and although I think the camera installs are total BS, it won't be a factor to me because I don't do anything wrong. They can sweat my overage on a daily basis and eat all my OT.
As a solid union steward told me when I was a fresh young driver, "don't sweat the petty things.....but pet the sweaty things".
Just do things right and give them everything they want and a whole lot more!!!!!!
Its all pretty basic . Just takes self discipline. Alot of weak people now daysEven if you have mastered the methods, (which is actually impossible because there are so many of them), nobody is perfect, and when you slip up, that camera is gonna be there to capture it and put it on a plate for management.
So you know all 340 methods and do them perfectly every stop, every day? Cause I know I don’t.Its all pretty basic *. Just takes self discipline. Alot of weak people now days
Yes. And if i do mess something up (very rarely), i do it over like an ocd wierdo.So you know all 340 methods and do them perfectly every stop, every day? Cause I know I don’t.
**i dont actually know all "340" methods.

Doing it over would be stealing time. I'm simply not ok with someone looking over my shoulder all day long. It's literally being treated like a convict.

No. At least not in my state, which is *not* a worker friendly state.Question for guys who have dealt with workers comp.
Can they try to deny your comp for not using their prescribed methods?
Hungry part timers? Not if most centers look like mine. LolPretty soon this job is going to be just like that of a police officer. The public already films us and take pictures of us just doing our jobs, and people make YouTube videos of themselves harassing us.

The true convict is laying in bed eating donuts at 2pm waiting on you to miss 1 ridiculous method. Ups has become a sick, delusional company. Good thing is, July is integrity month according to Scott Davis.(total idiot).Doing it over would be stealing time. I'm simply not ok with someone looking over my shoulder all day long. It's literally being treated like a convict.

I'm actually shocked I haven't seen any side really jump on it. I am also in agreement.Totally agree.
No you’re right a lot of them would rather smoke weed all day than do something hard like becoming a driver.Hungry part timers? Not if most centers look like mine. Lol
We are hiring weekly and maybe 1 in 4 stay past 3 days. And hardly any of those look like they will want any part of driving.
Re-read Article 6.6This is considered technology, therefore discipline can't be handed out by what they can witness through the camera. It has to be witnessed out on route.
