You will have to use the grievance procedure to force the issue. The language is clear, the company is required to provide uniforms and there is a past practice of providing a reasonable number of items in good repair. Uniforms with holes in them are not adequate to protect against climactic conditions as specified in the contract. File a grievance. You also have an 8 hr gurantee that applies [I]whether you have a uniform or not.
