UPS Shooting- San Francisco (Rant & News thread)

[wide load]

And how do we know he wasn't treated like a human?

Because he worked for UPS.

The reverse is also true.

Day 1, employees start out with dignity and respect for this company. Then something changes in them. Why?

 

[Catatonic]

It's been changed at least three times by an ocd MOD with too much idle time. Don't you have some silverware to organize?

But I just love sparkly and shiny objects ... please!

They talk to the Union steward?

Just started my 29th year and I still try my best to treat my management team with the respect and dignity that they deserve. This may be the military in me or perhaps it was the way that I was raised.

On a side note, our local news is reporting this as a possible terror attack. Idiots.

Am I the only one less than thrilled with MB's cavalier attitude throughout this thread?

Doesn't give you carte blanche to act like an idiot.

So you are justifying his solution?

I was just acting like everybody else.
I know, I know ... I ain't gonna jump over a cliff.

FWIW, I have lost any and all respect that I may have had for you prior to this thread.

Taking a life is never an appropriate solution unless life was taken. Just posting the difference in reporting since your local news claims terrorism.

Why would you engage in it then?

I read this entire thread and something to the effect of "I'm not surprised" or "I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often" came up 26 times.

This company seriously has to examine the culture that led to this tragedy.

Your right!!! I just joined this sight tonight. Can't sleep. My husband is feeder driver. He was shot at on I70 in st Louis last year. He was not hit but blew out his Windows. He's not been released by his doctors. Suffers from PTSD. UPS made him go to work last week. I was terrified. They had him come in for 4 hrs last Friday. They haven't ask him back. They said they would give him 24 notice when they want him to come back in. They've not called him back, but he's a mess. More than 32yrs Service, 28 yrs safe driving and they took away our insurance and won't pay him earned vacation pay. Oh yes he filed a grievance but what a joke.

Be forewarned, we have a few posters here who don't like it when wives of ups workers come here and post.

The wives who post then become then surrogate wives of these hooligans who will berate and denigrate these wife posters as a way to deal with the reality that they are CUCKOLDED husbands who wouldn't dare say one nasty thing to their domineering wives.


FACT!

Fun fact: I used the fun word for the day in my post.

Let's hope our Teamsters-UPS contract negotiating group will finally tear up the 9.5 list and put stronger OT language.
All they would have to do is put OT = 2 x pay rate. That demolishes the route cutting permanently. In the current model, it's cheaper to pay OT than regular pay rate + health & pension.
