How many tier3 crashes/accidents does it take to get a new FT driver off the road ?

Husband just saw this his response Ouch.

To the OP----in my center if you have 3 Tier 3's within a year they create a 22.3 for you.

If that were the case here they would run out of ways to create 22.3 jobs. I hope you were kidding.

So an "unavoidable" accident that you don't get written up for doesn't count against you?

Yeah there's gold at the end of that there rainbow too.

We had one in the district today and the guy got fired.

The guy who got drug 75 feet in iowa?

Nope. The company wanted to fire her permanently but she has 20+ years in----the Union was able to make a deal with the Company to create a 22.3 just for her. No one else can bid on it and the job will be dissolved when she separates/retires.

Wut?

 

[DOK]

I have seen a driver have 6 in a 9 month period.

Omaha is in Nebraska.

Omaha is in Nebraska.

So the pedestrian who was ran over in Omaha was drug by the package car? ...ouch.

 

[Dr.Brownz]

Omaha is in Nebraska.

the memo they sent out here says iowa. It looked like someone threw it together in word pad so.....

If it was not serious ( as defined in the contract), I doubt the termination will stand. Unless he was not a permanent full time seniority driver.

I talked to the Steward this evening who apparently talked to the steward in that building. I guess they aren't too convinced he will be back. The DM is looking out to get him.!

Fired or taken out of service?

It is standard procedure to take a driver out of service while the company investigates a Tier 3.

To the OP----in my center if you have 3 Tier 3's within a year they create a 22.3 for you.

Fired. Thanks for the education on crash investigations though. They didn't cover that in school.

Watch out for them seasonal drivers. That whole gas pedal/brake thing gets awfully confusing.

No, was told he didn't clear an intersection and t-boned someone. Not sure how bad the damage is. Heard everyone was okay though. At least there is that.

If what you are telling me is accurate...

A full time, permanent, seniority driver was terminated for one accident that does not fit the contractual definition of a serious accident.
And the steward doesn't think he will get his job back just because the DM wants him gone...

Then the steward doesn't know what he is talking about.
OR
There is more to the story, like lying about the accident.

I have NEVER seen a termination stick under these circumstances.

I'm just putting down what the Steward had said. I didn't hear anything from either side on the issue today.
