Got hurt due to leaky package..

[542thruNthru]

Not since 08-30-16.
NLRB ruled that company policy null and void.

I remember you posting a picture of this ruling before. Do you happen to still have it?

Chain of command? Like you showed up to honor a strike line? You're a pompous liar.

I am getting really tired of your constant bull.

Chain of command—-steward, BA, IBT, NLRB.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Nope you're wrong again.
Every injury has a percentage pt rating. The lump sum payout award is factored off of that. TTKU

Mine didn’t.

If I go to handle a package and I notice it's leaking I tend to not touch it.

This is where that whole ‘if you see something or smell something let a member of management know..’ thing comes into play. But sometimes, it don’t work that way til the package falls and bursts everywhere & the Haz-Mat squad has to come through. What fun!!

Sorry scab, but that may be the union (labor) chain but osha violations are outside of that "chain", especially when it comes to federal health and safety regs.

Parasite, factor two things in your tiny mind...

1. OSHA charges and violations are enforceable with or without a union's involvement. Many workplaces are not unionized but osha still has jurisdiction.

2. You of all people are now propagating posts on here that encourage workers to ... wait for it...
HIDE BEHIND THEIR CONTRACT???

Which is it parasite? What's your next lie?

I'll dig it up bro. Give me a few.

I was told by a union steward not to bypass the grievance procedure. Also, taking pictures will get you walked out.

I've been told the same thing. But if you filed, and the issue was never resolved, would you really be bypassing it by going to some government agency next? I don't think so.

I do think talking to your safety committee rep and a steward and filing a grievance are good steps to take first though. Then the company can't use the "we weren't aware of the situation" excuse when OSHA does show up. Just point to the safety meeting minutes and your copies of the grievances you filed.

No one likes to be surprised, no matter where they are on the corporate ladder.

If your local is management friendly your complaint will often end up in the collective abyss.

If you write a letter and sign it the surprise visit is worth the effort.
The egress violations never go away until the hammer comes down and a fine is levied.
We've been there.
It's about safety and this is the education process that fixes violations for the long term.

Screen shot it or download it.
Show it to your local.
It's a game changer.

Done
Since I see sups recording hourlies working, which is awkward and possibly degrading, the reverse should always be allowed.

Make sure that your local is aware of it and will back you. It should be a rescended policy on upsers.com as it states that it was mandated.
A picture is worth 1000 words in safety meetings as well.
I could tell you what happened to us but I'll just say that we got it fixed in spite of the "chain of command".

Yep that’s the one I was missing... then cut to the Haz mat squad & the poorly blocked off areas:

Edit: never mind I went though the previous posts.

Are you telling us that every single UPS related comp case in your local is contested and ends up in court?

99% ends in court with the other 1% being restituted with a legal letter. Why is it hard to believe that we work for A holes?

Cuz most of us don’t.

You tend to get what you pay for. Attorneys in the legal services pool don’t tend to be the very best attorneys.

They get the job done though.
