[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 1253423, member: 49302"] Does it matter? Everyone has winter clothes. It has not been this cold in Illinois for 20 years, and probably wont be for another 20. Why is a barely above minimum wage worker expected to plan for unexpected weather by owning cost prohibitive cold weather gear rated for temperatures they wont see for 20 years, but UPS isn't expected to take any responsibility for not preparing for adverse weather conditions in TX this peak? How many drivers would do it for $8.50 an hour? How many drivers could afford the appropriate attire for such conditions on $8.50 an hour? How many drivers wouldn't file a grievance immediately if the heater in their PC was disabled? Take a survey and get back to me. and that's the entire point of this thread. There is nothing more to say. They are supposed to and don't. Who said they didn't? This is a strawman argument. This is about the fact that UPS does not have the heat on. Very original, and very helpful. Basically what you are telling the OP is that UPS is in violation of it's contract, but instead of addressing it through the proper channels, he should go work at McDonald's if he doesn't like it? ...and we wonder why our union becomes less and less effective every day.
