What can he do to get better employee parking lot security at a UPS facility?

[cheryl]

Received the following message from a UPS driver. Anyone have any advise for him?

Im a driver in Houston, Tx. I'm not sure if there is anything you could do with our situation we have here. My car was broken into tonight and I had items stolen from me. At this location we have an average of 2 to 3 car broken into a week. Our security is piss poor and they are saying there's nothing they can do about. We should not have to worry about our cars being broken into after a long day of work. This is getting out of hand and something needs to be done about this. I know this is probably a long shot asking for help but figured it would be a good start as I what 2 hrs and counting of the police to get here. Thank you

UPS is not responsible to even provide parking, much less security for it.
I kept my car clean of any items to steal and did not lock the doors.
I never was broken into while others were.
UPS tends to build in the not so nicest locations.

Seems like security cameras would be a good idea.

Seems like security cameras would be a good idea.

Our cameras are focused on employee entrances but not the parking lot and you can't expect our security guards to occasionally look up from their smart phones.

Our parking lot is across the street and has signs UPS isn't responsible. There are cameras but UPS won't use them to protect employees. They are just there for when LP wants to check for employee theft.

Most thefts like this are druggies looking for quick sale items. Hide everything.

Wow! I leave my keys in the truck. We haven't had any problem in my 26 plus yrs

This should be a contract item in our next negotiations.

Hello op i work at a UPS center with similar problems although admittedly not at the same frequency,( maybe twice a year a car gets hit). Theres not much you can do per se, but see if a manger or supervisor can talk to the city or police department directly. With a few complaints you can often get at least a few more police patrols around your area. Remember that when prodded the government will do a lot to protect its businesses, more so than its people...

Don't leave valuables in your vehicle. Seems like a no-brainer but worth mentioning

I recommend changing hubs because where you work must be huge or a really bad location.

In some states the employer is required to have available parking for all employees on duty.

Identify the center manager's vehicle and arrange for something to happen to it.

Put bondo in the key hole doors, sugar in the gas tank.
