When the heat didn't work in some areas of our building and the company was dragging their feet, I called the local OSHA office and they had someone on site the next day. Heat was fixed immediately.

File a grievance and an OSHA complaint. Better yet, call or write a letter to OSHA and request that they come do an inspection.

If all else fails there’s always this:

…but knowing ups there’s not enough staff for the above to be an effective treatment.

only reason they run heaters is to protect equipment and I'm surprised they don't fix em earlier to do just that. few days of colorado temperatures would break some equipment would it not?

 

[bottomups]

Everyone wants air conditioning. Now when they get it they bitch that it's too cold.

Define heat. Our building has heat in the offices but the hub is very cold. Cold enough to freeze the water used for feeder wash.

Solve?

How does that solve anything?

When a manager slips and breaks his back on frozen piss the heat will be fixed? I dunno...

 

[Wally]

Solve?

@MyTripisCut should elaborate. I guess his theory is a large frozen patch of urine inside the building would goad management into immediate action?

Either that or package cars don't drive well on a hockey rink of frozen urine?
