That bothers me a little bit,......about the establishment of "designated Union ..."safety"...employees".....
Who "designates" them?.....and,....by what criteria?
Do they have power to...recommend ...discipline against their fellow Teamsters? If there is no...."bona fide accident"..........why is there any sort of a "safety" review?
I know UPSF has "designated" employees as trainers and "safety" personnel...........(.....I also know of one such..."designated"....person who had an accident on a 5 ton road, where he wasn't supposed to be,involving a telephone pole.............and yet UPSF retained him as "safety/trainer".......)........
......(......which leads me to question just what is the........"criteria"........for the company to take you under their wing, and give you the power to...."recommend".......disciplining your fellow employees,........when your own ..record...isn't so sterling.......)........
I guess this is the latest corporate..."toy"......peer-to-peer review,.........you get judged on your competency by your...."peers".....selected by the company........Of course,.....no personalities, or animosity, or seniority issues will be abused in the selection of your....."peers"......
And,......of course,.......since it's your "peers",....your Fellow Teamsters,........how could you file a grievance on anything perceived to be discriminatory?
