Like I said a few posts back......just because UPS puts that crap in their little policy manual doesn't mean it overrides rulings by the NLRB. We just all need to be careful though. UPS really can fire us for whatever they want. They do that knowing damn well we'll be back but do it anyway because of the potential financial hardship we'd go through while going through the grievance procedure. They know that many of us won't press certain issues for that very reason. They are crooked snakes to the core. The very worst of the kind.How is the bold to be interpreted? My center manager has in the past threatened to fire me for stealing time for merely checking the time on my cell phone. That seems to read employees can send and receive texts while on the clock?
Examples of policy terms regarding photography and recording referenced in the general counsel’s March 18 memorandum that were deemed unlawful include the following:
- “Taking unauthorized pictures or video on company property” is prohibited.
- “No employee shall use any recording device including but not limited to, audio, video, or digital for the purpose of recording any [Employer] employee or [Employer] operation.”
- A total ban on use or possession of personal electronic equipment on employer property.
- A prohibition on personal computers or data storage devices on employer property.
- Prohibition from wearing cell phones, making personal calls or viewing or sending texts “while on duty.”
