Locals Urged to File OSHA Complaints on DBCSs
March 31, 2009
The APWU is urging locals to file OSHA complaints over identified ergonomic hazards on Delivery Bar Code Sorter machines. In a letter to local presidents, Industrial Relations Director Greg Bell asked locals with DBCS machines to file OSHA complaints by April 10. The APWU has made many attempts to discuss and correct the known ergonomic problems, Bell said, but has had little success in getting the Postal Service to address the issues.
