Do they have to give us heat?

[Covemastah]

Years ago the first building I worked out of barely had any heat at all. None in the area we worked in. Back then we had to change into UPS pants in the morning and couldn’t wear them home at night.
The dressing room had a small heater in it but the room was always super cold anyway. Our Steward put a thermometer in the room and filled a grievance. The center manager brought in a small space heater that did absolutely nothing unless you were standing right in front of it. He put the thermometer about six inches away
and assumed he had solved the problem. The Steward took a picture of the thermometer showing 110 degrees and filled another grievance. We got an actual oil burning furnace in the dressing room.

You shouldah went down to the Blacksmiths shop @rod to change into your browns ,sure it was warm there !!

Rod had it so bad in the early days, in the Winter, he had to deliver packages using a dogsled!

When he was a kid before the dogsled he used baby tyrannosaurus Rex s to pull the cart .

Snowmobiles.

15 degrees?? Yeah, I don't think so.

You must live a sheltered life

 

[542thruNthru]

Snowmobiles.

You're right. I should have realized animals have too many rights. UPS can't treat them as bad as us and machines.

 

[Dr.Brownz]

If they are looking for a job that guarantees you to be comfortable UPS probably isn’t it. You are talking about a building that is basically one big garage door.

This is a dumb attitude to have. You can make this job comfortable. Their numbers might go in the toilet but thats just toooooo bad

 

[Dr.Brownz]

These millennials are funny

they’ve all got something to whine about

I'm sure the corrupt s who ran the corporations back at the formation of the Teamsters union were saying the same thing......

What about on the package cars? Are they required to have heat?

 

[542thruNthru]

Required to have defrosters. I know that

 

[OKLABob]

It’s in the contract that the building will be heated. File a grievance and stay warm!

 

[Covemastah]

What about on the package cars? Are they required to have heat?

Yes & a defroster DOT regulation

 

[Covemastah]

I’m sure @oldngray changed in the blacksmith shop as well

 

[Alamo Joe]

Waaaahhhh.

No heat in the hub.
coming in at 1 Am and working 8 hours in 15 degrees.
seems like this is somehow barely legal.

How many doors are open?

 

[Wally]

Try being at the center in northern WI that has to load outdoors. 4 trucks outside in the teens, single digits

4 trucks is a split route, not a center.

 

[PT Crazy]

How large of a hub? OSHA Was contacted for our hub. They fined the crap out of ups. Has to be heated to like 62.
