[QUOTE="wintertime, post: 4877650, member: 90584"] Hello fellow upsers! I've browsed this forum many times, but this is a first posting a thread. I've been with UPS for only about 7 months so I'm fairly new to the game. So a little background - located in NJ, the temperature is starting to slowly creep up and working in the hub can be a workout to say the least. Warmer weather = need for proper hydration = need for more bathroom breaks. I was told yesterday by the full time supervisor of our hub that we are only allowed one bathroom/relief time during our building 10 minute break as is policy according to our contract. When I expressed concern for my health, I was told a number of condescending, demeaning comments - file a disability, be a grown adult, etc to name a few. I've since looked through the teamster ups agreement and have not found such policy and decided to reach out here to see if there is maybe a contract somewhere out there that I'm missing and any insight anyone might have regarding this. I would also like to point out that this conversation happened after I had used the bathroom on my way to the other side of the building (I was being moved around) as I was passing in order to minimize the need for bathroom use during busy time in an effort to be more productive. (Also adding that I take less than one minute each time). Thank you kindly for reading and in advance for your insight! [/QUOTE]
