Attendance policy is a joke.
Look at all the guys on a regular basis thst they ask them to 'take thr day'
Look at all of us that take weeks off in the spring.

After lots of analysis and complicated mathematical equations studying the algorithm, it appears I found a solution to all of this…..
Come to work on time don’t violate your attendance policy you lazy bastards.
I’m as shocked as everyone else, but apparently this works! Who knew?

I can’t wait for drivers wives to start posting in this thread about why their husband can’t come to work!!

I've mentioned this brother before, young guy in our center that clearly has an alcohol problem. Anyways, he came in for preload on Thursday, loaded his truck then asked ORS if someone else could do his route, wasn't feeling well (red flag!). Friday he calls in. Center Manager calls from sister building (I'm in the office talking about another issue) and proceeds to explain the displeasure they have with said driver. They hang up, 3 minutes later someone from our regional office calls and says they want this drivers bid route sheet sent to them.
Wtf is up with that? Coincidence?

I think that's the jest of it...attendance is about the easiest red flag, and then they dig. Not taking your contractual length lunch, missed time commits, telematics reviews leading to increased observations. They'll find something.

Then, if no one is really paying attention 
censored:ty Stewards) they stack grievances under the guise of "failure to follow the methods" and the driver finds himself with three totally unrelated.

@DRAGON II seems like he’s a little more old-school and probably could do a good job of putting a case together if he really wants to terminate a poor employee.
Most of the management like him are long gone. Replaced with feckless yes men who are actually more scared for their own job than anything else.
It’s kind of funny.

Nipped that in the bud years ago. Warning letters for generic failure to follow the method gets thrown out on a regular basis.Then, if no one is really paying attention
Better not bigger also means less management
Throw in some AI dispatching and get rid of some more dead weight...

As they should be. Like Ive told you before our near retirement steward is useless and I've caught three such instances in the last year.

We are still fat on management. There’s really no need for all these on road supervisors, keep taking your tablet home every night and p.m. dispatching because soon you’ll be going home and sitting on the couch, still doing nothing and no longer employed. Carol is watching.

My concern right now is many locals have sitting arbitrator now. If you take an attendance case with multiple intent to terms connected to it, the sitting arbitrator is going to rule by the contract.

And the arbitrator is not your friend if you are on the wrong side of the attendance policy.

Where in the contract is the attendance policy ?
