[QUOTE="soberups, post: 994684, member: 14668"] People...the solution to this issue is brutally simple. (a) File a grievance. (b) Inform your managment team...with a steward as a witness...that your uniforms are no longer wearable and that you expect them to honor the contract and provide you with suitable uniform items [I]immediately. [/I][B](c) If they refuse to fill your uniform order, simply report to work without a uniform and clock in[/B]. Your management team will then have a choice; allow you to work without a uniform, or send you home and pay you your 8 hour gurantee for the day. (d) Repeat as necessary. The [I]reality[/I] is that your management team has the [I]ability[/I] to fill your order [U]immediately[/U] and have the items sent Next Day Air if necessary. All they lack...is the [I]willingness[/I]. Being forced to send you home and pay you your 8 hr gurantee...or allowing you to work in street clothes....will help them to [I]develop[/I] that willingess. What is going on here is simple; some corporate bean-counter in a cubicle someplace had a bright idea and decided to make himself look better on some stupid financial report by simply denying all uniform requests from a particular district or region. We went through the same BS a couple years ago, and I filed a grievance and threatened to show up with no uniform and demand my 8 hr gurantee. Guess what? I got my uniforms, and havent had a problem since! [/QUOTE]
