MORE NONSENSE

[Blackstream]

UPS argued that Plaintiff had not, and would not, correct his behavior, and that the arbitration panel should uphold Plaintiff's discharge.

New Telematic Discipline language will absoulutly be abused.

Did they change something besides 'No employee' to 'No driver'?

The contractual protections against using technology to discipline employees are strengthened. UPS must give a verbal warning on an identical infraction (i.e. two seat belt violations) before issuing a warning letter on that violation. The restriction on using technology for discharge remains in effect

The new language will be used in combination with other possible actual methods violations. Before this contract, there was no BS language stating u could be disciplined for seat belt violations, etc.

I.e. will be abused and will mean whatever UPS wants it to mean.

And Remember that most of the Teamster Reps are Hoffa/UPS conspirators.....so discipline hearings will be biased against the RPCDs that UPS wants to get rid of.

 

[whatever's clever]

Did you guys read that carlisle case? Clearly the lesson there is to never call OSHA. If you start to think you’re smarter/cleverer than them (by calling OSHA) they come back twice as hard. Therefore just be their bitch.

Of all the things the arbitrator decided should stick it was incorrectly sheeting packages that did that guy in. Seems arbitrary. Also no love from a judge.

Union failed to challenge UPS's violation of CBA Article 6 (which prohibits a discharge based solely on information gathered from Telematics, UPS's GPS system) is lacking in merit because Plaintiff's discharge was the result of Plaintiff's progressive discipline, as well as his own admission of conduct violating UPS sheeting policy;

Telematics discipline language needs to go .....if not....a lot of RPCDs will go.....
