[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1129555, member: 42270"] This is something that I would consider grieving, especially after talking to your shop steward or business agent. While I have a cell phone sticker because I'm a shop steward, I'd be damned if I was going to rely on some [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]heel supervisor to relay a message if I had a sick parent, kids, or a pregnant wife in case of an emergency. We have a "clean in/clean out policy" at my hub and they "banned" headphones for 5+ years. Recently, when management was informed that OSHA doesn't really have a problem with headphones, they eased off a little bit and unofficially allow "one in, one out" except for irreg train drivers in the building. The policy surrounding headphones is really more of a loss prevention issue than a safety issue. That being said, I've been to package centers nearby in neighboring cities that have absolutely no (visible) security and employees bring boomboxes in and out all the time. Speaking of which.. there was actually a grievance case that was taken to the National Health & Safety panel 4 or 5 years ago that upheld the right of employees to have personal radios/boomboxes in the hub. The handful of people with personal radios either stash them in a locker or hide them between sorts. [/QUOTE]
