[QUOTE="soberups, post: 579881, member: 14668"] Next time you are in a rural area and see a road crew, construction crew or farm labor crew at work....notice the fact that their employer almost always provides a porta-potty for the crew to use. UPS wants us to follow [I]their[/I] trace...and meet [I]their[/I] service commitments (NDA by 1030, savers by 3, pickups within 15 min etc.) while taking our breaks and lunches within [I]their[/I] contractually agreed upon time frames. Thats all well and good but if you have successfully jumped thru all of these hoops and as a result you are out in the middle of nowhere at your break or lunch time and you gotta take a dump...the company should [I]not [/I]have the right to tell you "too bad, take your break where you are parked, no breaking trace to find a bathroom on our time." They cant have it both ways. In my location they are wanting to start strictly enforcing the time frames when breaks or lunches are taken, as well as denying the ability to break trace on the clock. This is BS and we are going to be fighting it. If they want to control and micromanage us that much then they should rent portable toilets and put them out on the delivery area for the driver to use "on trace." Contract or not we are human beings and when you gotta go you gotta go. It is [I]not[/I] professional or appropriate to ask a customer for permission to come into their home and nuke their bathroom.
