Stealing time

[BigUnionGuy]

Never said I was "owed" anything.

You didn't.

But in my experience, that seems to be a resounding theme.


I had a driver once tell me (at a discharge hearing) that was "his" time.


He was one of those people, that had been discharged numerous times.

The company finally got one to stick.

In my 38 years with this outfit, I came to realize one thing. It doesn't matter who you are or how good you do your job, If management wants to find something to terminate you for, they will. Doesn't matter if it's imagined or for real. If they get a chance to make an example of someone to impress the rest of the masses, they will, even if they know you will be getting your job back. Anyone who works there can be replaced.

He was trying to say. If you have a target on you,they will shoot you!

We have had a rash of accidents (16 YTD) and our center manager repeatedly stressed the need to call them in immediately. We had a driver who waited 40 minutes before calling in his property damage accident. He came in the next morning, dressed and ready to go, only to be told he had been terminated for failure to report an accident in a timely manner. Everyone, including the center manager, knew he would get his job back----he was using him to get his point across. He was back within a week.

The methods.... will set you free.

You gotta have the balls, to use them.


Besides.... management people can't do it.... consistently.

If they say they can, make them prove it.


That is what the grievance procedure is for.

That reads like you are justifying getting a haircut while on the clock because, in your mind, stealing time isn't as serious as not reporting an accident in a timely manner.

Threads evolve and one has nothing to do with the other.

Yeah but, this thread started about stealing time. As a matter of fact, that is the title.

You brought up the 16 accidents.


(BTW, why do you even have the same management team after 16 accidents in 10 months?)

By accident!

Because they've(corporate UPS) obviously found that center teams area of incompetence?

It is much easier for drivers to make up for pay shortages-----all we have to do is sit somewhere for a little while.

That is called, "the installment plan" in my parts! Best done in small increments at different times over the required adjustment.
