take up

[shhop319]

hi,

"If you got problems...​

​

​

​

with malfunctioning​

​

equipment...​

​

​

​

...I suggest you take them up​

​

with Maintenance, counselor."

I don't understand what "take up" means here...
Does it mean bring them to the maintenance?

Thanks. The reason I was confused is that there is "with" It seems unnatural to me. Wouldn't "you take them up to the Maintenence" better?

No. Click here and see definition 13.

It means to tell the people in the maintenance department about the problems.
