Hi Everyone,  

NBC News just released a follow-up investigation about UPS. Over a dozen drivers have reached out to NBC to report heat illness since the first story appeared on the Today Show a few weeks ago.  Will you please click here to share the article on Facebook and Twitter

From the NBC report: 

Managers push employees to keep working even when they're sick and discourage them from reporting illnesses, they said. When employees insist on treatment, they said they are often taken to urgent care centers that cannot administer IVs, delaying crucial care.

"This is just sickening," said a union steward in Arizona, who has seen three drivers suffer heat illnesses since late July. "They preach about safety and heat related issues," he said. But when workers report that they are ill, he said, managers "get upset or just don't follow the safety protocol."

And the article just gets worse. Please read and share with friends and family on Facebook and Twitter. UPS can't continue to get away with this. 

Thank you so much – your signatures made this reporting happen. 

Theresa
