It would be illegal For Ups to include any language restricting
an employees rights under federal law. Rest assured that Ups legal knows this and they would not be so incompetent to try to do so.
If Reyes wants to take action, he can. If ups is found to have violated his rights, he would get bsck pay and have his record expunged regarding this discharge.
Other drivers than could be able to take action based on the fact that the government has found UPS in violation and therefore the drivers would not be in violation of the contract.
The government does not rely on what UPS or the union actions are.
UPS hasn't been found in violation of anything. However the Union agreed that the walkout wasn't legal...
These driver are currently fired and yes UPS can say you can have your job back but in doing so you drop your right to file a grievance..... These drivers don't have to sign the paperwork if it said that and if they didn't want to and UPS also doesn't have to hire them back if they don't. They could file a grievance and hope that it settle sooner than later......
Union employee sign away there right to file a grievance all the time especially when they sign last and final chance paperwork to get there job back.
