Terminated For Altercation- Need my job back

[brown_trousers]

I do wish i was able to walk away, but like i said- he came up in my face and there was no where to really go.

Next time someone gets in your face, throw yourself backwards into the wall or something, and then fake a painful injury. Make it convincing.

It works really well for those guys in the NBA

 

[Skooney]

We have 2 guys that went to battle in a can on the sort. Still employed 10 years later. They didn't do but sit them out a couple weeks.

Whats up fellow Teamsters-
I have been terminated from UPS after being attacked by another teamster. We work out in C-sort (temp building out in the cold) where the weather takes a toll on us all. Now that the weather is cold, I have been turning on the heater from time to time, and my co-worker lost it stating it's too hot and he came face to face to me trying to intimidate me. My automatic reaction was to shove him away from me and following- he threw punches. I did not throw one punch but was able to restrain him; however, our union rep(steward) pulled me off him allowing him to stand up and take a cheap shot at my face. I argued that I was not the main aggressor but was still let go. I tried contacting my Union President, but he was not there on the day of the incident(Friday) and is gone the next week. I left him a voice mail and have not heard back from him. I am lost, confused, angry, and unsettled. I filed a police report due to the advise given to me; however, I just want to know how to get my job back. Steward told me on the way out that I will get my job back....nothing else
Any help, advise, or experience helps,

I’d say you’ll get your job back, peak approaching may help in that regard.

Do stop back and let us know how it all plays out.

I don't know but sounds like a flaming bag of dog on his door step is in order

where was the supervisor when this was going on

Getting held down by the op?

 

[allahuakbar]

You should have followed him home and burned his house down.

UPS is very nervous about work place violence. Can you imagine you doing something else down the road the lawyers would have a field day. Get witness statements I’ve seen that save some jobs like this case. Of course get your business agents help

 

[BrownRecycler]

Just says that he fell on his own arms and want to take it out on you. And, you shove. He took action. He was the one with deeper problem than you.

Pretending to work in a co op could get you beat up. That’s probably why you don’t work/own at one.

the govt is against that sortve thing considering the capitalists want to perpetuate the system they are currently the beneficiaries of.

Netflix and chill?

[swing_drv]

Good luck! I was told UPS has a zero tolerance on work place violence.

Nobody cares if you start a co op. Don’t be so dramatic.....Poor Ricky.

this is a terrible job. Go apply for mgmt at burger king.

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Your mistake was shoving him.
Should have punch him in the face.
Once it became physical you were going to get fired either way.
Should have made it count and knocked him the eff out

 

[cachmeifucan]

Go call the police. They can't help you they not coming to your hearing, they not a witness and nobody wants to help a snitch. It takes 2 to tango hope you got in contact with ba because you only have a limited time to file. And if he doesn't file on time you have to file a labor charge on him for failure to represent you. I'm a basshole but I would never hit anyone at my job even if they hit me first.

Give everyone $20 and tell them that they saw nothing.
