Any of the 804 drivers who feel they are on the "lets discharge them list" should now be even more meticulous in their methods. UPS and the Union states If you do the job by the methods , you will be ok. THIS IS NOT TRUE.
Many UPS managers and supervisors retaliate; in my experience; that's what they do; Many UPS management people retaliate. UPS will follow and observe all drivers. UPS will selectively report and discipline who they want to; and let the runners slide.
If I were an 804 driver, I would ask for UPS to let you video or audio tape your entire day. If they deny; file a grievance. We as UPS employees have nothing to hide. Tell them you will give them a copy everyday and that you will keep a copy everyday. This will show you are very concise in your methods. You may miss a horn here or there or have some minor infraction; but for 99.99% of the time, you will be spot on. I have been 100% and management was dishonest.
If you see UPS management following you on an observation; It would not be out of the question to record your time on the observation on your cell phone as long as you start the recording on a break and do not let any of the recording distract you in anyway. Start recording and leave it in your pocket or in the truck.
UPS management is not above lying about if they saw you grab the handrail, use a dr bag, beep the horn, walk behind the package car, grasp opposite corners, use your power zone, leave yourself an out, etc. etc.
Way to stand your ground 804. The company and employees are required to follow the contract.
Integrity first and foremost. The principle not the poster.
