Photocopiers and Printers fuming mad - threaten work-stoppage
It appears the JAN Kelley photocopiers and printers have had enough. As JKM'ers opened the doors to a new week, they were greeted by crudely articulated demands and threats of a work-stoppage piled up in the agency printer trays. Fortunately, the demands are relatively simple:
- An end to large piles of uncollected print jobs in their print trays - as the weight is burdensome.
- Limiting the ability to cancel large print and copy requests while in progress - apparently a key trigger of psychological stress and frustration among the machines.
- A zero tolerance policy for verbal and physical abuse during malfunctions.
While the threats of any wildcat strike by the printers and copiers seem rather empty, they aren't being taken lightly. System Admin jockey, Alex Brans, is keeping close tabs on the situation. "We're going to do what we can to make things workable - obviously, there are some issues that need to be addressed."
Attempts to get a digitized comment from the agency's Docucolour 242 resulted in a paper jam and a toner cartridge being tersely ejected.
Additional details on this labour unrest will be provided as they arise.
