Termination

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Certainly not the U-Haul box trucks but our guys used to fight over who got the 2 U-Haul vans they would rent.

Same here.

 

[JL 0513]

Terminated driver simply needs to get doctor note documenting Tourette Syndrome. Don't know what the problem is.

 

[Brownwind]

Nothing will happen to him.

It’s hard for me to believe the company will spend thousands of dollars to bring this to the panel. Something is missing.

 

[Brownwind]

No, I do not believe excessive swearing should be normalized. I also don’t believe that termination without warning should be normalized.

Just seems like something is missing. Generally swearing doesn’t trigger this response.
Was it demeaning to women, alternative lifestyles or threatening in any way? Do you live in a woke area or in a rural area?

I can’t advise you unless i know the whole story. Hang in there.

 

[Mrs.BrownCoat]

H said the N word

I asked if the said swear words were derogatory and was told no.

I presented the story as it was presented to me. I told said employee if what was explained is the truth then you just ride it out and hope that the process of protecting you as a union employee actually works.

If there is more to the story then you need to learn from it and do better.

Appreciate the response. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to add up. Article 17 was already presented with the list of things that get you terminated. If it’s a he said she said then it will work itself out.
I have a feeling some nasty stuff was mentioned and the comments were made (and over heard) by someone in the community mentioned earlier. Gotta be professional on the job.

If that’s the case then. How does @Turdferguson still have a job

Why are you assuming this is a Central Region Supplement issue?

 

[Mrs.BrownCoat]

The dude was probably doing a girl on his route and he broke it off and now the woman is ticked.

Hope his wifey doesn't find out.

The termination letter said it fell under the “other cardinal

Termination Letter says this infraction fell under (i)
other cardinal offenses, the Company and the Union agree that there are offenses where an employee may be suspended in lieu of discharge. Discharge under this subsection should only be used in situations where the employee's actions are so egregious that he/ she needs to be removed from the workplace immediately to pro- tect employees, customers, and/or the Company. When an employ- ee is removed from service, the Union will be notified by the Dis-
trict Labor Manager or his/her Labor designee.

But they didn’t just suspend they sent a termination letter.

I’m just responding to an anonymous forum and trying to figure out how to help. If you were in trouble I’d try to help you out and I don’t even know you either.

Just curious what you think about the situation.

Yikes. Sounds a little deeper than what was originally posted.
Keep us posted on how it proceeds.

I'm just trying to help you, help her.

Heck yeah. Hate to see anyone lose their livelihood. Unfortunately it’s a no win trying to help with one hand tied and blindfolded.

I hope anyone reading this remembers to bite their tongue and bridle their response

I talk to other truck drivers on the phone all day. Although I try to be conscious of my surroundings, I am sure consignees have overheard me saying some choice words in casual conversation at some point. Not a big deal if it really went down the way she is portraying it.

How could you possibly talk to drivers on the phone all day? I barely want to talk to anybody for the 5 or so minutes before pcm. When I first started the job, the younger drivers would call me and want to talk. That ended pretty soon after they realized I don't have Bluetooth equipped.

Sometimes I listen to a podcast instead. No way I am going out there with nothing in my ear and just listening to my own thoughts all day. I am not that comfortable with myself.

It sounds like someone on the dock heard him and the word got passed on to one of the office bosses who blew it out of proportion. I agree you do need to watch your behavior in public because someone is always watching.

UPS Driver is a high profile job . You have to be on the alert for all you say and do out there. People will call in on you for many reasons, jealousy is one big reason. A lot of people wish it was them in that truck and not you.

Who in the hell wants to work out of a u-haul?

Nobody ! My last 2 peaks I was the senior driver in our building . I had the least amount of packages but a lot of miles. The only good thing about a u-haul was that you could listen to the radio going to your area and coming from it . Trust me it is hard to keep your load together in one.

Lot of extra sorting.

They know better than getting me a rental
That won't end well
