[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1819951, member: 42270"] The company[B] can[/B] try and keep you from bringing in headphones as part of the clean-in/clean-out policy. Note that this isn't a safety issue (no matter what they say) as OSHA doesn't have a problem with headphones. Granted, if you work in a big building and someone's walking to/from work areas with headphones that can be a concern but that's not the rationale for banning headphones on sorts. However, there is a National Health & Safety Grievance Panel decision from approx. 2007/2008 wherein the company and the union mutually agreed to allowed radios in the hub. District LP tried to ban all personal electronics/cell phones/radios in my building somewhat recently and they backed down after we filed a Maintenance of Standards grievance. They only wanted to argue about cell phones and the labor manager didn't even contest/want to discuss the grievance I filed on compliance with a national panel decision. You might want to call your BA, as there's pretty serious consequences if the company refuses to abide by a national panel decision. [/QUOTE]
