Biden signs executive order mandating vaccination.

Buddy, I know I don't have to explain to you how seniority works. The same rules apply to everyone. I can't change my spot on the seniority list. What I can do is take advantage of an opportunity. If my co-workers actually want to throw away a six-figure job because they've spent too much time scrolling through Facebook on the toilet and/or they're afraid of needles, that's not my fault.
Yeah that’s why. Frick off

I think we may have lost focus here. As UPS drivers work exclusively outdoors and alone except to clock in and if clocking in is a problem then we’ll gladly wait outside for our trucks and board to clock in. I doubt it would go that far, but I digress. Meanwhile, the OSHA ETS was put on stay in case no one knows about that.

Even technically feeder loaders work outside since feeders are not part of the building.

You're really stretching here.
The fine is 14,000 dollars per employee violation. You think ups is going to risk a violation by classifying drivers as outside employees? Come on man, you know they have duties inside too.

Trying to find loopholes is a lost cause.
It won't survive lawsuits. That's the path it needs to go down.

I’m not looking for loopholes, but think UPS in their alleged reported input had something to do with this; if…….IF……….that really happened.

I think what UPS got out of their meeting with the Democraps was the delay of implementation of the mandate until January.

It will probably be struck down by the courts by then. Just my opinion.

If UPS package car drivers wouldn't be classified as outdoor employees I don't know who would be. Garbage men, utility workers, construction, etc all have inside office support people but are primarily a outdoor business. They would just need to mandate inside workers and excempt their outdoor workers.

I’m saying that because the reports are completely unverifiable. Was this ETS officially registered? Has anyone verified that?

Are you talking about the outdoor excemption? Yes it verified. I looked at the 490 page official order and searched outdoor and sure enough it's there. Outdoor employees are excempt.

I've seen the pre-registered version of the ETS, but has anyone seen the final registered version of the ETS?

UPS drivers are not classified as outdoor workers.

You could argue that the time spent indoors is brief, but there is no guarantee that you can get in and out briefly at the customers premises every time. They can spend extended times in building delivering and picking up packages. They also report to an indoor building to start work and get their package cars. They return and do the same thing. This time is not brief. We cannot get out of our building within a half hour of starting.

And UPS will not classify employees individually depending on their job description or route.

Here is the classification for an outdoor employee per OSHA.


In order to qualify as work performed exclusively outdoors, the following criteria must be met:

  • The employee must work outdoors on all days (i.e., an employee who works indoors on some days and outdoors on other days would not be exempt from the requirements of this ETS).
  • The employee must not routinely occupy vehicles with other employees as part of work duties (i.e., do not drive to worksites together in a company vehicle).
  • The employee works outdoors for the duration of every workday except for de minimis use of indoor spaces where other individuals may be present – such as a multi-stall bathroom or an administrative office – as long as the time spent indoors is brief, or occurs exclusively in the employee’s home (e.g., a lunch break at home).
The employee’s work must truly occur “outdoors,” which does not include buildings under construction where substantial portions of the structure are in place, such as walls and ceiling elements that would impede the natural flow of fresh air at the worksite.
