[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1427027, member: 8481"] People like you seem to forget that we work for UPS. They make the rules. We are under a collective bargaining agreement that mostly deals with working "conditions." They have never said anything to that driver, not because they can't, as you say, but because they choose not to. If UPS instructs you to be at Joe Blows at 10:15 and you are not, you can get a warning letter for failure to follow. Where in the contract is this a contractual violation? The Teamsters cannot tell UPS that the driver does not have to deliver the air until 10:30 when UPS instructs him to be there at 10:15. Even if it is a contractual violation, you still must work as directed and then grieve it. The only time you do not have to work as directed is if it immoral, unsafe or illegal. If you are not there by 10:15 and you get a warning letter, don't expect the Teamsters to bail you out. No contractual violation. UPS makes the rules. If a new rule it is not a contract violation, you must obey the rule or suffer the consequences. [/QUOTE]
