You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Lol we've fought this fight and lived to tell about it but the op knows better.
I still want to know how long he has worked here.
Doesn't matter, it won't be for long

The funny thing is that the Pampers (OP) talked to lawyers and read the labor laws.
Read the contract instead.
They followed Pampers for 3 days, built the case, and caught him red handed.
Cardinal sin = Termination..... UPS is not in the wrong.

Yeah lawyering up immediatly is not the best move in this case c

Gumby, Heff and brownslave all actually have really good advice and know how to play the game at ups. Drop the attitude with them and read what they're saying. It's valuable for longevity at ups.
Oh and ignore Dave(upstate). He was rejected for management twice and will always side with the company. He's a "company " man who hates the union but loves the pay/benefits and protection it provides

nowhere special
Agreed. I have seen people fired for stealing time in similar cases. You are allowed to use the bathroom but if you start abusing it to take extra breaks you need to expect consequences.
And some people just don't think.
At all

Your P.I. skills are worthless in this case.
Let me tell you a story....have a seat
Honestly, I'll be truthful here.
I've been fired before. Did something stupid.
Hated the center manager, but he used his better P.I. skills to get me.
I sat home for 2 weeks not knowing if I'd work again.
Got my second chance, and make sure I don't make mistakes.
You have to be the bigger man and learn from it.
I did and so can you !
This job is worth the hassle if you remember you are ALWAYS being watched.

He is a human not a robot. He cannot decide when his bladder gets full or when his sigmoid colon releases feces into his rectum.
Yes you can; OSHA will support that position. A rural driver could technically break at any point in the route to get to a public bathroom. UPS's fake rules don't matter, only OSHA's rules.

Sarcasm is not your strong suit is it? Lord forbid a grown man make poo and pee jokes. Ugghk
Document every thing that sups says or does. It is kind of late now that you are termed but that is the best way to fight back. File a grievance as documentation. That way when it goes to panel the panel see's a long history of harassment. You'll be back though, they are just trying to scare you. Ride it out and DEMAND BACK PAY. Do not let them try to take the back pay. GET IT ALL PLUS ALL 9.5 violations,.
Omg.... Had to skip the last few pages. We're talking about grown MEN using a bathroom. Your management team is on a huge power trip.
My gut feeling is they're going to come out of this looking like fools.
This wouldn't happen here. I can't even imagine some sup telling me I have to pee off the clock! I can almost hear my laughter.
I think your management team is going to get a reeming from above at the end of all this.
Yikes....

UPS doesn't care he used the bathroom.
They care he took 40 minutes for a 30 minute lunch break, three days in a row
He was followed : caught stealing time : discipline warranted

Several weeks ago I had a really light day and was done with all of my deliveries and the bulk of my pickups by 1415. Took my lunch from 1415-1500 and then sent an ODS saying that I was done and that I could help if needed. Never heard a word from them. Sat at home until 1630, finished up my pickups, punched out at 1800. No one ever said a word.
The key was sending the ODS. Had I chosen not to do that and they noticed my 1.5 hours of inactivity I would have most likely been terminated.
