Re: Corporate abuse: Unfair labor practices exposing violation-Civil Rights Act of 19
Response: Here again, this individual who might be a union steward or business agent protecting the interest of local 435 who cannot be trusted. For you to accuse this driver based upon false accusation and details given from anyone affiliated with this local simply cannot be trusted or justified due to hearsay, and perhaps alterations of documentations affiliated with this case. People need to understand this driver was given the opportunity by the panel to offer anything affiliated to the case and mentioned he had payroll problems that were not settled from recent grievances filed. Note: The Company would pay him green-checks from what they owed him, and then they would turn around and take this money back out from the backside of his payroll checks under his deductions stating: A/R-weekly indicating the amount owed next to the A/R’s. Note: This driver did report the accident to the customer. When he returned to the UPS facility management from his center was nowhere insight to report the accident. He was going to inform management the next day. Besides, management already was informed about the accident from the customer who the driver told about sliding into there fence due to wet conditions. End of story! As for the prior accidents he had in the past was not relevant to this case. Note: If the business agent would have done an investigation of the accidents in the past; the matter of his driving experience unnecessarily need to be brought up at the panel. The panel should have been provided the details of his driving record from the business agent. The grievance that was filed relating to article 8 section 2 and article 37 (harassment) at the hearing the business agent requested the driver’s payroll history, and to be made whole from being short 10hrs. Reason for driver’s request of payroll history relates to the A/R-weekly. The business agent accused UPS management from transcripts and audio tracks stating: You would pay him a green-check then take it back out from the backside of his regular checks, and the business agent said: “You can’t do that”! Management agreed to look into the A/R’s and get back with the business agent. The business agent told the grievant that they need to get back with him on the A/R’s because he did not like what they were telling him, and the business agent says: "If they don’t get back with me he would have the grievant file another grievance". 3 weeks to 1 month later this driver was terminated. The local never followed through on the A/R incident. The investigation with the Department of Labor And Employment stated: According to there findings UPS owed about $1,200 to the claimant, and requested an affidavit explaining what the A/R’s were for and what does it mean? UPS never provided this affidavit and there is no record of this affidavit on file with the Department of Labor And Employment. This driver became a less problem to the company and union who got rid of him. End of story! I was told this driver was dedicated to his position. He had an excellent attendance record. He helped out in his center and other centers delivery and picking up air and ground packages, and helped out in the hub. This is the gratitude he gets for doing his job! The reason for his termination was not due to the accident. The real reason was because of his continuous filing of grievances over the same issues.
