[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 2558365, member: 2193"] Just to keep this in perspective, this is the highest fine for UPS in 2016 in the state but NOT the highest fine that was handed out in the state. "The $73,800 penalty issued to UPS is the third-highest levied in Kentucky in 2016, according to U.S. Department of Labor records. Lexington armored car company Garda CL Central incurred a $103,400 fine and Henderson, Ky. company Gibbs Die Casting Corporation received a $91,000 fine." Anyone outraged at UPS for this should be more outraged at the other two companies since OSHA felt compelled to give them higher penalties for their penalties. Not saying UPS does not deserve to be fined when they violate the rules (any company does), but in 2016 there were two other offenders in the state that were deemed "worse offenders" than UPS.
