[QUOTE="soberups, post: 727749, member: 14668"] You know, on the surface I can see why a $.28 pair of gloves might not [B]seem [/B]like a big deal....but it is in fact part of a larger trend. Cheap uniforms. Refusing to fill uniform orders due to "budget cuts". Constant shortages of needed items like decent handtrucks, tape guns, pens, delivery notes. Good luck trying to find a squeegee and a bottle of Windex to clean off your filthy mirrors--we are UPS and we cant afford such luxuries. Due to overcrowding, I have to park outside and in the winter my winshield is often frozen over. I will spend 15 minutes on the clock idling and defrosting because the company is too cheap to buy a $2 ice scraper taped to a broom handle. The OP makes a valid point that the items described are part of his job function and that the company will no longer provide them as it has done in the past. Left unchecked, this trend will only get worse...like a small crack in a dam. As a driver, how would you feel if you came to work one day and all the pens and delivery notes were in a vending machine and you had to start paying $.28 apiece for them? I could care less about food or safe driving awards or other discretionary items....but if it is a needed part of the daily job function then the company should provide it. [/QUOTE]
