[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1228123, member: 43436"] The "paper towels" was an issue in many buildings. I'm among the most green persons participating within these forums, but given the condition of the air dryers -- often smeared with traces of feces, and definitely not intentionally but rather a derivative of poor hygiene among my co-workers -- I prefer an option in which I may remain healthy so I am able to give my best effort to the company and be compensated accordingly. It's certainly a grievance with the company, thus the grievance process is seemingly appropriate, given the lack of other avenues at UPS. Abuse? I disagree, but in fairness, UPS also abuses/stretches the process as well. Vending contracts are local -- in fact, many buildings in nearby locations may have different vendors, and many larger buildings operate their own vending machines. For many years, we had an activities committee that would plan & organize activities -- cook-outs, picnics, Holiday parties, etc. (both on & offsite) and the profits from the vending machines were our primary income source. Eventually, UPS disbanded the committee and moved the vending to an outside contractor, who guaranteed X dollars to the United Way. Unfortunately, people balked at higher prices and prices ballooned -- for example, a soda went from $1 (activities committee) to $3.50 (started at 1.50, but ballooned after no takes). We grieved to end the United Way contribution, which seemed appropriate. [/QUOTE]
