[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 400131, member: 4653"] Sober, I wouln't file the grievence to make the point. I agree the quality of our uniforms have suffered in the last 2 years. Since UPS is concerned with the appearence of its drivers I would make my point simply by wearing THEIR uniform. When UPS switched uniform providers I can't find a size that fits me like my old uniforms do. For example, I can't get the right belt size. I used to order the belt 4 inches larger than my waist. It fit great. Now if I order it 4 inches larger its too big. I then tried to order it at 34 inches, my waist size. This was too small, as I couldn't get one hole fastened. Thats 2 belts I ordered that I can't use. The same thing happened when I ordered pants and shorts. My waist size from the previous uniform supplier worked and works for the street clothes I buy, but not for our new supplier. The waist is right, but its too small everywhere else. I know what you-all are thinking, its not because I have a fat a--! :happy-very: This might be true, but the pants are tight all the way to knee and at the calf. So Sober, my answer to make the point would be to show up at the center with a shirt with sleeves too long and pants that look like "floods". I think this approach will grab everyones attention and prove our point more than the grievence. I say this because this is what UPS is providing for us these days. I understand we can get them tailored but I never had to in the past and simply don't have the time or money for it now, especially when the contract states the cost will be borne by the employer for uniform maintenance. I have never read this in the contract, so I'm taking your word for it Sober:happy2:! It appears that most of us prefer the old uniform company. If UPS is adamant about our appearence, then I think they should not pinch pennies in this area and go back to the provider that makes us look our best! [/QUOTE]
