[QUOTE="705red, post: 432358, member: 5229"] Since upstate hasn't informed everyone on why its a grievance i will. Several weeks ago a new vendor was brought in to manage the vending machines. So out went the old and in came the new, i had talked with the building manager and expressed concerned that the prices should stay comparable. Well they didn't, Gatorade went from a buck to $2 per bottle, bag of pretzels was 45 cents now a buck, candy was reasonable 60 to 80 cents. I went back to him and discussed the pricing. We (several stewards) called the 800 number on the vending machines and were told that the company sets the prices in these machines. I than talked to the vendor himself as he was refilling and he told me the same. The prices vary from building to building and its the same vendor in all of our buildings. Now the reason this grievance is being filed is because the members especially ptimers are upset and angered. Even to the point were they are allegedly filling the machines with slugs so they cannot take coins. Now if the vendor was solely responsible for the rices it might not fly, but since ups does it is a grievance. No matter the outcome of this poll this grievance will heard and followed through on, because the members have called for it. [/QUOTE]
