Where was that ?
What is the case number ??
It's easy to look up.
No idea.
It was a bunch of years ago though.

Or.... Somebody told me."

Retaliation/harassment, and you handle it well.Isn't that why you should always work at the same pace even when OJS'd? Granted, I'm not a driver, but I have been OJS'd a handful of times after filing grievances (PT sup stalks you with a stopwatch and clipboard for 4 hours). I'll be damned if I'm gonna move faster because I'm being watched....I'm not gonna give them numbers to hang me with.
Noone's ever been fired based just on the numbers. Whenever you hear about one of these "production" terminations being upheld there's always a lot more going on.
Been here too long not to learn how to play their BS games. When I'm being watched from the end of the belt...I smile and wave.Retaliation/harassment, and you handle it well.

"labor managers....are not going to waste their time on something they cannot win."
They are called "lock in rides" for a reason and, yes, you can be fired for failure to maintain demonstrated performance.
I'll let you know what happens at this Panel 9 days from now....I'd like to know of one driver fired for that.
*Big vote no advocate in PA
*Declared candidacy for Principal Officer
*Defended driver at center level against unjust cardinal sin discharge
*three weeks later Labor and BA talk and Labor allegedly tells BA that they'll give driver who was fired his job back if the Shop Steward who argued for him at center level hearing is not present or a part of it, she agrees to this request
*the day that they convene to give the fired driver his job back, after the meeting they immediately call Shop Steward to office and suspend him for 3 days for forgetting to do DIAD training.......something nobody had ever been disciplined for before
*1 week later over 3 consecutive days he is suspended for 10 days for a very minor accident and discharged twice as a result of OJS follow up ride
That's the whole story
In my center, when I 1st started driving. Do not even remember the dude's name.
Even with the anonymity provided by the internet, I signed an agreement and intend to honor it.
The "allegedly" doesn't refer to whether or not the District Labor manager and the BA actually talked about this, it refers to whether it was the Labor guys idea as the BA allegedSo what.
Again.... So what.
Any Steward "worth his salt" would do the same.... Right ?
This is starting to make sense.
Without a written warning.... and a Local hearing.
Hmm.
That might be the "story".... you have been told.

I've been there, my sporh usually went down when they rode with me. This guy is a 26 year driver, 16 year shop steward he's got no excuse for not knowing how to do the job. If he's not working the same pace without a sup as he does with one then he's doing something wrong. I'm aware that they can do things like set up the load, help you carry packages, hold the door for you, etc but like I said, 16 year steward he should know to be documenting that stuff as well as the fact that he had different areas. Based on what you've told us I don't see how the company actually wins this one.
2 stops an hour less while unsupervised is a great deal of time,and I would be doing a great deal of digging to A) explain where this time is going B)find the differences between the OJS days and the following two week(packages,miles,area,NDA,etc)15 SPOHR lock in, 13 SPOHR average over 12 working days after ride.
Different #'s of stops, NDA's and, areas
30 inch selection area is shelf space directly behind bulk head door that driver is expected to slide all work into
