I thought it was all foot delivery then, load up a rickshaw and get to running. Those abacuses were really slow when it came to calculating cod.
Should I be allowing UPS Secuity Guards to open all my belongings?

I hope you are wrong, the guard at my Hub will have a field day with me. Every morning she makes obscene comments toward me and she really has a good time looking at my legs when I wear shorts. Just "don't touch my junk". It was bad enough the last time I flew a couple of years ago. Go through metal detector, take off shoes, belt, and turn on my notebook. I'm glad I don't fly much.
Why because I am not offended by the security searches. I carry a 10 lb backpack every day that contains a laptop, two cell phones, a camera and alot of other stuff needed as I office out of my car with 15 extended centers. If they go through my bag, fine, if they do not no big deal. So I would say no big deal, again I say if you are offended that they do this you might want to go get a job somewhere where they do not do it. Why is this a Mgmt vs. Hourlies issue?

It isn't an hourly vs. Managenent problem...I don't see anything unreasable with having guards search peoples bag...my comment was geared more toward yoir attitude. How many times do you have to tell people to go find another job..might be a record within one thread. There is a thread in the partners section about mgmt and how they are getting the shaft and I didn't see one time where anyone said,"if you don't like it ....leave".
Contractually required compensation? For being asked about your ipod or your cell phone. WOW! I guess I am wrong for saying if you do not like it leave. I guess I should be asking where do I sign? What a load.

Gee, at our center, no guards, we walk though vehicle doors, It is nothing to stop and unload a pkg car or feeder from our shopping trip during lunch. Our vehicles are less then 150 feet from the building, and if you wish, you can hang around and chew the fat.

Only if you are wearing clean socks with no holes.
Lol. I've only been told to do this once. It was the day before new years and they had everyone remove their cards from their wallet and also sit down and remove their boots. I would like to tell the security, "I have no problem with removing my shoes, but you know what, if your so interested in looking at my feet, YOU take off my boots, I've been halling ass all day and I'm tired". I wonder what theyre response would be.
I will throw out a couple of things I have seen that will let you be thankful they check you.
I seen a guy try to sneak a knife out in belt area, 10 cell phones taped to guys upper thighs, 3 psp's stuck in the hood part of hoodie with jacket over hood part, fossil watches and jewelery stuck in over sized shoes.
I do get irritated on the phones Im a article 22 and cant bring in my phone.... but yet a part time sup can. So I keep one in my locker that stays at work along with my mp3 for my first half then I have a shifter radio I made (like the feeder drivers have) that i use on my second half along with my work shoes and rain gear.
I do get hassled by safety walking in with my k-swiss, when I have work shoes in my locker as well. Even tho I did win a grievance for steel toed tennis shoes (mine are white hy-test).
