UPS CANADA
Women

I been with this company for close to three years. But the way women are being treated is not nice. Mainly there are two ladies who joined the company early this year and where put to off load trucks with only very heavy packages and is they are not off loading that truck they are taken to do irregs these are also heavy items that where off loader by men the previous day. When one day I brought this issue to the supervisor Howard and Max why ladies are being used like that yet there are men being put in great numbers in other tracks. The answer was have they complained."??? I told Howard these are new people who are scared to even complain and you are taking advantage of them. After two/three weeks passed one of them got sick and couldn't show up for work for almost a month. When she returned she was still asked to go and do the same heavy lifting she refused and asked to do something lighter like other fellow women do upstairs (Small sorts) or to do the scanning. She was told that was impossible because she knew nothing. The woman lost interest in the job the more because even upstairs there are other women who are so comfortable with the duties they were doing and there is also a big fight with the scheduling and now the new comer find it more difficult to get any spot. To make this short, I am wondering when should any new person get the right training and with who and in which duration. Is it really fair for the old staff to call names the new, and only give up duties that need heavy lifting while the management is just looking on? Who is to be informed about any mistreatment at this company since no body is taking this issue up apart from giving promises. Why is it so hard to train the new staff and praises go to the old staff yet they still do many mistakes. Where are the work ethics in this company?
