Personally i use an Plantronics M155 with my iPhone and have never had any issue with it. i do however pocket it as i make my way back to the hub....I don't think anyone will have an issue with it, but out of sight...out of minds!

In feeders, by law, you have to use a bluetooth or you face a very large fine if you get caught. If I were still in PC, I would be wearing one there too. Holding a phone while driving is an accident waiting to happen.

You don't have to use a bluetooth as you are not required to use a cellphone while on the clock.

If you are using your phone, THEN you are required to use a Bluetooth. No holding a phone to your ear.

Are we allowed to have one? I know we arent suppose to talk and drive but sometimes when I sort I wear one. I been leaving it on all day and was wondering if just havin it on is a violation.

We were told no,

Anyone?

I don't care about their policy as the contract states no headphones.

Bubblehead,

Thanks!

No, no trick question.

Do you think this language applies to inside operations such as unload, sort, load, preload....?

I'm not clear on this.
