[QUOTE="daiku, post: 365024, member: 15910"] I had to buy a GOOD jacket that was rain proof because the company would not provide me one. I paid a lot for it. I still wear it even though it has the old logo, which by the way is better than the weak one we have now. I ll wear it even if I have to take it in my back pack and take it out on road. I have ear rings that on occasion I wear, I am male. I have to say I would have loved to go home and get paid on the back end at the highest total hours worked that day by a senior member. Discrimination is just that. read the contract as it has been said in a post no larger than a dime. I have set in many many meetings with senior people. I still have a picture with our former CEO where clearly I have 2 earrings that are about dime sized. He had no problem with them as I have a excellent accident injury picture as well as a top revenue producer. I am also a steward - which really should not matter, but I put that out anyhow. I am a younger guy, I would say however with 17 years in I am not too young. I tend to get a kick out of this kind of stuff. I actually can care less what you look like etc when I do business with you. I have found quite often that those " alternative" folks at my customers place of business tend to be some of the nicest and easiest people to work with. I will pay a premium for service, which is what UPS asks of its customers. I am from CA and this I know makes a difference as to how MGMT freaks out on issues. The truth is however our uniforms are really poorly made. The overall design quite frankly is crap as well. Our hats are terrible and we have people have custom ones made just so they do not look like elmer fudd. If the company would offer some decent gear we would even BUY it. YES remember when we bought the cotton shirts? Anyhow how bout some Under Armour? And to the people that quote Jim Casey like he was their brother. Jim Casey would Never have been so * as to go public and take the family aspect out of the company. I agree with much that he has said but the guy was around back in the day.
