Anyone out there, especially from Local 509, having issues with management failing to supply ice water, etc. during the summer months? This was a standard practice at the Gaffney terminal for at least 10 years, even before UPS Freight...For years they even provided Gatorade until UPS Freight management decided that diabetics may not be smart enough to not drink it and possibly have a reaction..Our ice machine broke, they took it out and did not replace it and our TM, in his usual cooperative manner has refused to provide ice for the dockworkers. We are planning to file a greivance on Monday under past practices. Its very sad that the TM says he is not obligated to supply ice for the employees... and he obviously is not humane enough either. Maybe we can contact The United Way and see if they can help with this matter, or better yet, stop our contributions to United Way and buy our own ice???
