[QUOTE="soberups, post: 955039, member: 14668"] If you have an office job, the office is heated and there is a bathroom down the hall. I see road crews, construction crews, contractors, house painters etc. all the time out in the country, and [I]their[/I] employers pay to have a porta-potty delivered out to the job site. [B]It is part of the cost of doing business. [/B]UPS, on the other hand, does [I]not[/I] provide porta-potties at suitable intervals along my trace, and since they made a decision to hire a [I]human being [/I]to run this route then they are going to have to make [I]reasonable[/I] allowances for that human being to use the delivery vehicle in order to locate suitable restroom facilities.If the expense of doing so is such an unreasonable burden, then the company is free to either (a) stop providing delivery service to rural areas or (b) develop and mass produce a robot that can drive and deliver packages without the need to urinate or defecate. The funny thing is, this was [I]never[/I] [I]even an issue[/I] prior to Telematics being installed. Now that we can [I]measure[/I] it, we can [I]manage[/I] it....and once we can [I]manage[/I] it, then by God we are gonna [I]micromanage[/I] it to the most ridiculous extremes. Lets go ahead and have that 30 minute meeting with a sup, a center manager, a driver and his shop steward and we can break out the map books and Google Earth and figure out just how far the driver can go in order to find a spot to sit down and make a poopie.
