<upd_detl>maybe just a+b, but I feel like 「上の人を出せ！」 ("let me 
talk to your superior!") is something of a setphrase (though 
bing/google results don't really support that). Also the 
meaning might not be immediately apparent from the 
individual parts. 
__
Just from the eij sentences though, it's apparent it could 
also for example mean "upstairs neighbour", which could be 
an additional sense, if you find the entry is worth keeping.</upd_detl>
