Well that is just crazy talk right there. I guess you expect people to earn their paychecks too? Fascist!!

My hub goes through this every couple years(clean in, clean out) but always reverts back to allowing them after grievances filed.
If it was in the contract, then they would of enforced it already, not when a new security force comes in.

nowhere special
Having phones really isn't the issue. That is easily controlled by using stickers on phones. The real problem is some people want to spend more time on their phone than working.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
How'd you do it?
Please tell me more grandpa.
I kind of miss the days before cell phones. The digital addiction these days is
ing out of control.When I go skiing I am amazed at how many people have to constantly stare into their cell phones on the backside of a mountain.
Its
ing ridiculous.

You had a paper thing called a "map." You also carried some quarters to use a "pay phone."

We can have phones but it's in our supplement we don't have to use them for work. I don't use my personal phone for work. If the office want to reach me ODS me.

Many hubs are banning them for PT'ers due to "security" reasons. It should always be contested under maintenance of standards via the grievance procedure, in my opinion.
We've had too many people in the past have legitimate family emergencies wherein their family members attempted to contact them by calling the listed hub phone number and the company never followed up with informing the employee.
That being said, there are a fair number of people that do abuse their phone privileges (Facebook, texting, etc. on the clock) and that should be addressed individually via progressive discipline (verbal warning, write-up, warning letter, suspension) rather than a sledgehammer solution like banning them from the building.

Yep they started this in our hub this week. They claim their has been a rise in thief. If you have a phone it must be registered with IE with a UPS security sticker on it. Mainly they are targeting the Preload. A few times I have delivered packages and the contents were missing, and I notified my sup that something was going on. I would find receipts from the box on the shelf in the trucks. This didn't start happening until the switch my loader. It's happen to several drivers.
