Scott Davis, yet again

F.A.O. Scott Davis

Scott

Just a reminder of a few items that you might want to consider tomorrow.

My first grievance highlighted the lack of integrity in the Company.

This was basically, ignored.

The grievance hearing took no action.

My information was classed as old hat.

Despite this claim, I was able to produce a list of 475 Centreboards that had been despatched out on road. These had all occurred since a conversation with Lisa Bradshaw, H.R.

H.R. obviously failed to take any action as the lack of integrity continued.

This lack of action covered up the integrity issues within UPS in the UK.

The following Centres were involved, including that of Chris Marchant who held the grievance meeting. Presumably, why my grievance was swept under the carpet.

Abingdon

Barking

Brighton

Bristol

Bury St Edmunds

Cardiff

Carlisle North

Carlisle South

Chelmsford

Cork

Croydon

Cumbernauld

Dartford

Deeside

Dewsbury

Dublin

Dundee

Eastleigh

Edinburgh

Exeter

Gateshead

Gatwick

Gloucester 1

Gloucester East

Inverness

Jersey

Leeds

Leyland

Lincoln

Luton

Manchester Eccles

Manchester Irlam

Manchester Lynx

Newhaven

North Rode

Nottingham

Reading

Sedgefield

Shannon

Sheffield

Stoke

Swansea

Tamworth (Pkg Centre)

Tamworth West

Watford

West London

I think that shows a fairly comprehensive and conclusive list. There aren’t many UK Centres that aren’t on the list. So if almost every Centre is on the list, why do they need to cheat? Some had up to four Centre boards.

The list of 8 Centre Managers at Dewsbury can be added to that list, although most would already be included in the list of Centres.

The list of 5 Division Managers can also be added, although there is a name on both lists.

From H.R., Roger Mays, Emma O’Toole & Lisa Bradshaw are also complicit in the cover up.

On top of this we can add the UK & Ireland Operations Manager.

Finally topping the UK list is the District Manager.

This is a pretty convincing roll call to prove my original point.

There has been no follow up to my 2^nd & 3^rd grievances, which had additional evidence to back up grievance number one, although there must have been a grain of truth in there somewhere, as the driver mentioned in grievance 3 was re-instated.

Compliance and Ethics department have failed to live up to their name, although this doesn’t surprise me as Cindy Miller said that she had come from a background of Compliance & Ethics.

UPS helpline also failed to follow-up – Ref IWF_17CD3FC0B5.

Will you be backing all these employees and continuing to turn a blind eye to this lack of integrity or will you be standing by the Company Policy book and your Managing with Integrity presentation?

Here are a few of your phrases. I have the screen prints, if you have forgotten your speech.

• You can’t build a long standing reputation on slippery ethics.
• And report potential violations to the Company
• You build it by gaining trust…..by leading with integrity.
• It means refusing to engage in unethical activities.
• It is essential that no employee is retaliated against.
• For using our reporting mechanisms.
• That support the UPS legacy of leading with integrity.
• Or our culture of Compliance.

This of course only deals with the integrity issues that I raised. There is bullying, intimidation, harassment and retaliation, false statements to Doctors and to Government agencies. Details of which you’ve had already.

We haven’t covered Aviation Security yet.

Any thoughts on why approx. 50 Centres in the UK had their X-ray operation closed down?

I would suggest cost cutting in training.

UPS trains for 4 hours. UPS gives the trainees the questions during the training session. UPS allows the trainees to discuss the answers while the trainer is out of the room. This compares with DHL’s 3 day training course. Once arranged, these training sessions take place, irrespective of a shortfall of drivers. If necessary sub-contractors are used. How often is UPS training cancelled to avoid Sub-contract costs?

DHL also take security seriously. DHL don’t pretend to lock the gates.

We haven’t discussed which time zone you are in. I would think that Hawaii is the state that is the furthest west. As Hawaii is 11 hours behind the UK, then Friday would end at 11.00 BST on Saturday. I don’t think that I can say fairer than that. I think somewhere like Guam would already be into Friday.

I don’t expect a reply from you, but at least I can’t say that I didn’t try hard enough and give you, or one of your minions, the opportunity to respond.

Assuming that you won’t respond, in the current climate of share-holder accountability, how do I call for a vote of no confidence in the chairman & CEO of UPS? Is there a procedure in place or would I have to write an open letter to somewhere like the New York Times? But you’re no going to reply anyway, are you?
