When has the contract stopped Ups before from trying to fire someone? They fire people all the time without it sticking. Like I said in my first post, the termination won't stick.

Yeah, you guys are probably right....it's not like we are in a union with a collective bargaining agreement or something???

What was I thinking?

What law???

The law about not using an electronic devise while driving a commercial vehicle. Did you not read and sign the agreement about distracted driving?

I AM AGREEING WITH YOU DAMN IT! You and I both know the company will try and fire someone by twisting contract language. They could claim a low flying plane was close to hitting the Ups truck and because his eyes were on his phone for that 1 second, that we could have grounded the airplane which is grounds for termination. I legit wouldn't be surprised to hear a lame ass excuse like that.

What would it take to force the Company to stop throwing crap against the wall like that???

I'm saying it's a warning letter at best and absolutely not against the law here.

That's why I tried to ask the OP where they reside, because as so many refuse to acknowledge, we aren't all under the same rules and guidelines.

But hey, don't let me knock you from your soapbox???

It would take an employee with the fortitude....a BA willing to make the argument....and a Panel willing to rule on contractual onus, ultimately making the employee whole in the end.

Don't hold your breath.

I have been a full-time driver for 6 years have 0 accident on my record and have never been written up for anything. I have always been pretty good about in-cab distractions and know that it is unacceptable to be on your phone while driving but I am human and I do slip up every once in awhile normally I have my phone in my chest pocket, today while I was driving I pulled my phone out of my pocket looked at the time and placed it back in my pocket my supervisor was doing an observation and Saw that I looked at my phone while driving. He then approached me and said that there are no warnings for having your phone in your hand while the wheels are moving and that I am going to be terminated. Can I really lose my job over this or do I need to at least be written up for it first?

I highly recommend you answer this question.

What region are you in and do you have a local rider???

The reason is because your local rider may have language that resembles mine.
