Well, whenever they tell me I can’t wear black socks, I tell them I’ll happily wear some ups socks if they have any. They always go grab me a pair.

That works if you are a 35 year driver or a kiss arse. If I come in with one button out of place they are trying to walk me off.

My building has probably 600 drivers or more. Tell them you can’t find the website or the usernames ever since they changed it. Boom. They can’t say anything else to you except give you the information. People are so scared of UPS I don’t get it.

I would laugh at that, but I have alien toenails that could put Freddy Krugers' fingernails to shame if I don't keep them shortMight want to trim those so the socks will last? Just saying...

MN state law says it is illegal for a company to charge an employee for uniforms that contain company logos.

Technically they do provide uniforms which do not require the use of their socks, making the socks optional.
Wearing shorts and shoes in the summer is a choice.

Doesn't matter in MN.
It is illegal to charge employees for uniforms with company logos on them.
You aren't buying them from the company, you are buying them from an outside vendor

Doesn't matter.
In the MN the law is clear.
I never bought socks.
Wore plain brown socks the entire time we were able to wear shorts during my career.
The chicks dig the socks.

That one I've never heard of. Can you show me the law? I know in Mn. it is illegal to sell an American flag that isn't made in the USA (good law).

Work Uniform Lawsuits: Can They Make Me Pay? |
https://www.classaction.org/work-uniform-lawsuits
In certain states, it's illegal for companies to charge their employees for uniforms. Attorneys have reason to believe that some major companies, including restaurant chain Jimmy John's, may be violating these laws and illegally deducting uniform expenses from their workers'
It don't mention Mn. but even this is news to me.

I walked passed the division manger today with a beard and hoodie on, the dumpster fire is too strong to care about socks.

ARTICLE 58 – UNIFORMS AND PERSONAL APPEARANCE Employer agrees that if any employee is required to wear any kind of uniform as a condition of his continued employment, such uni- - 237 - form shall be furnished, and maintained by the Employer, free of charge, at the standard required by the Employer.
I don't buy socks. I've been given socks at the pcm, but even those weren't the twin hill ones with the logo. I won't pay nearly $50 with shipping for socks. That's a hill I'm willing to die on. Send me home if necessary.

If it's UPS specific and branded, they need to provide it. I can buy any shoes/undershirt/etc of my choice as long as they are compliant, then that's ok. If tomorrow they said you have to buy specific shoes with a UPS logo on it, I expect they will provide those as well.
"if any employee is required to wear any kind of uniform as a condition of his continued employment, such uniform shall be furnished"
It's worked for me for 32 years. I don't suppose I'll need to be carried down lol. I did buy the first set and have been given some at the pcm, but it was those brown with a gold ring around them. I was questioned once during an audit and told the socks were out of compliance. I told the guy I got them as a safe driving award at a pcm and that was the end of it. Of course I work at an extended center and see my boss 3-5 times a year.
