Most UPS buildings have a locking key switch that transfers the building heaters from AC, AC for the supervisor's offices and customer counter NOT the building. Its the center managers job to get IE to come and and switch the heat on, its the Local Sort supervisors job to get the doors closed on the outside as soon as the trucks are parked. As for it being illegal to work inside in 45 degree temps, you might want to go take a look at OSHA's webpage and see if there is anything relating to this topic

Be glad you even have a building. Some don't.

UPS can afford feet and shoes.
Why is management allowed heat while they work and we are not? I am not asking for 80 degrees. 55-60 is good. That isn't asking a lot.

The analogy sailed over your head.
Be thankful for what you have as others have it far worse.

Just wanted to add to what I posted above:
Woke up this morning to 3" of new snow with more falling. I just noticed a bottle "boy" with his shopping cart filled to overflowing walking down the unplowed street to redeem his wares. This "boy" is in his mid 60's and is in failing health. He lives on my delivery area and I often see him and a friend driving around the city looking for scrap metal or anything that they can sell and make a few bucks. He lives in a trailer and can only dream about what you and I often take for granted.
If that doesn't put things in to perspective than I suppose nothing will.

Friday it was 29 degrees in the Nassau Building. What can Brown do for you?

I got it. I just don't accept it.

Then why is there a section in the contract for heat in the trucks? Guess you don't need that, either?
If the bottle "boy" worked in the building, I would expect them to give him heat, too.

It got down in the low 20's here last week and I was still wearing shorts and leaving my BH door open. I will admit to having the heater cranked though.
During the preload operation the doors to our building are kept closed and there are electric heaters located above the conveyer belts. The outdoor MDUs dont have electric heat, but when it gets cold they set up one of those portable propane "salamander" heaters at the end of each one. In the evening when the doors are necessarily kept open, the building just gets cold. There wouldnt be any feasable way to keep it warm. The clerks do have portable heaters because they dont move much, but the hub workers stay warm by working harder.
