Do you believe UPS should be reported to OSHA for not supplying water correctly nor adequately to you and your coworkers? ( On Topic Only Please)

A large jug is a problem? Less space than a cooler with bottles.

Yes.

I put 8 water bottles in my backpack and I'm on my way. UPS provides this water.

My feeder cab is climate controlled....the water stays cool or warm enough to not be unpleasant.

The problems begin when I have to start stopping frequently to obtain water.

Don't need a cooler. Did you read the post you responded to?

You said you were running out of water. That would be your own fault.

Do you represent the company or hourlies?

It wasn't clear by your posts....I sure wouldn't want you representing me on this issue.

I represent the hourlies.

Oh. And this is both off topic, and bullying. Please stay on topic.

To put some reality to this.

In your opinion how much water should a UPS Package Car Driver have taken with him/her to ensure there was an adequate supply for the full day in Houston Texas this week?

Figure a 10 hour work day and a heavy workload.

I actually really liked how it was put in my building.
"If you aren't bringing water back, you took too little".

I figure a couple gallons maybe?
Really gonna depend on the physique of the person, the route, the shade. A million factors.

OSHA not there to hold anyone’s hand. It is there to ensure that employers do right by their employees.

Not talking about osha my friend I’am taking about you

 

[burrheadd]

With all earned respect....

I am a feeder driver....I'm gone from the building 12 hours a day.

I may or may not meet my meet guy at a place that has water.

Buy? I work for UPS...they can BUY the bottles.

The jug would be large so I won't run out!!!!!!! OMG.

IMO Any employees at UPS who are afraid to stand up for their rights and while doing so stand up for the rights of all employees by desiring to hold the company to their responsibilities under OSHA are the most institutionalized.

They defend and justify the company’s failures at the expense of the employees.

Based upon OSHA guidelines about 2.5 gallons is probably an adequate supply for the day.

I just buy my own. If I forget to bring any I just grab a few bottles from the warehouse. If there isn’t any I just stop somewhere and get some water. Or just bring water from your house.

I don’t think you know what “institutionalized “ means

Ok.

You represent the hourlies on this subject of water supply?

We don't have a contract article that stipulates UPS's responsibilities regarding water. That's why we are talking about OSHA.

If my local had an article that covered water, I would absolutely represent them with regards to it.
