UPS workers claim delivery drivers are creating COVID risk - Devon Live

Two UPS loaders at the Marsh Barton UPS depot have reportedly tested positive

Angry workers at Exeter's big Marsh Barton UPS delivery depot fear they may be at risk of spreading COVID-19 after two close colleagues who load the vans have reportedly tested positive.

Drivers and subcontractors say they are angry at the way UPS have handled the confirmed cases. Staff have been told to carry on working as usual unless they develop symptoms and subcontractors say they have not been informed.

One driver claims he works closely "within inches" of the loaders who have confirmed COVID-19.

Probably difficult for those English drivers and loaders to distance when they're utilizing vehicles as small as the ones @rod delivered in back in the day.

Most of my 30 was done in an 8 cube. The last five in a 7. I did spend about 3 months in a Ford Econoline back in 71.
