your problems sound funny to me now.

Your stories sound funny to us.

At my building it's some outside service that takes care of janitorial duties.

Was just about to post this...at my building it's some outside service.

Union employees earning over $35/hr. at my building. Top seniority and some are even over 70 so collecting their pension and socialist security benefits.

All it takes is a group grievance over conditions.

Planning on it. Just waiting for the conditions to get worse.

Our barn looks like a barn. There is still sand and road salt on the floor from last winter where I park. A guy a couple of spots down swept a path where he walks to the door of his PC. The pile is over 6 inches deep.

If I did not know any better, I would think that I worked in a sales barn.

Looking forward to it getting worse. Will then threaten to call OSHA. If they don’t fix it. Will file a complaint with OSHA.

1910.22(a)
Surface conditions. The employer must ensure:
1910.22(a)(1)
All places of employment, passageways, storerooms, service rooms, and walking-working surfaces are kept in a clean, orderly, and sanitary condition

We have pits in our building where the water from the washers flows when they wash cars. Its indoor washing, no tunnels at our building. Every few months the pits fill up and water starts pooling at all the pits. Usually a company comes out during the day between sorts when the building is empty and they come with a big tanker and hose and suck it all up.

I think it is P.E. that schedules it all, but they wont have the company come out and empty our pits. So we cant wash anymore cars, and there are small lakes everywhere in our building at each pit.

Been talking to center manager and other ft sups and they just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dry floors are an OSHA requirement.

Eliminate porter jobs and outsource. Hire illegal's.

I was told something from this sales lady in the building. If you submit a lead in the diad, it automatically gets handled by people in Bangladesh. Granted, my Bangladesh browns are much better than my China browns. The “decision makers” you hook them up with get calls from weird out of country phone numbers and people with accents. She told me me to just call her with any leads.

Porter work and job positions are protected by contract, here at least. If porters don't sweep, no one sweeps. 8 hours minimum, no contractors allowed.

can't speak to whether they're illegal or not, but this is what RTW states have done for years and years

that's a disgrace considering how many sales people we have running around this company doing basically nothing

Not in my RTW state. Art 22.2 jobs are protected by contract.

A sales what???

A sales barn. When you live out in the country and farm, it is where you buy and sell cattle, hogs and sheep. Sales barns typically have sawdust, shavings and animal poop on the floor.

Been to 3 buildings. 2 were hubs. All janitors in each were contractors. All Mexican and about half under the age of 30.

Probably some of the cleanest hubs UPS has. We're often out of paper and the bathrooms always smell like poo.

 

[Staydryitsraining]

One hub I was at was horrible. Old no one gave a . Lights out, no toilet paper some times same paper towels. I'm in a brand new building now. amazing.

I’ll give it up to my centers sales guy. He got to one of mine a few weeks before I submitted it. Another one was a retention lead I told my center manager about and I’m sure he handled it. He looks like he is 12 but I guess he knows something about sales.

UPS is cutting back again. Was informed today that the janitors/porters hours were cut and they are no longer allowed to sweep the floors. They are only allowed to pick the bigger stuff up by hand. Looking forward to being a thorn in their side over this one...
