[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1287690, member: 12570"] We had 3 drivers fired this year. Two of them were casuals and there was little to no concern on the part of the FT drivers; in fact, in one of the cases, the majority agreed that it was about time the guy was fired. The third firing was a FT seniority driver who failed to report an accident which caused damaged to company property. The employee in question had an otherwise clean record. Yeah, we felt the firing was over the top, but at no time did I hear anyone, even the "Joe Unions", suggest that we walk out in support of this driver. Privately each of us went to one of the on-cars to express our support and she was brought back after a 9 day "vacation". I would not want anyone to lose their jobs trying to support me if I were fired nor would I risk my job trying to support anyone else. Call me what you will but that's just the way it is. [/QUOTE]
