[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 806309, member: 484"] 407 The problem is that you file, and there are several days before it can and will be heard. In this particular case, it was to be heard on Thursday, the day after the injury to the right knee. So when you talk about accountability, I agree. The union has a large chunk of accountability in this case as well. They had the grievance on Monday, but could/would not hear it until Thursday? That means the employee [B]had[/B] to work as instructed for those 4 days, per the union and contract. Why could it not have been taken care of within hours of the filing on Monday? I, no this is not an exercise. This was a real situation that placed one of our drivers in harms way. And the driver has since had more surgeries and constant cutting pain, not to the left knee that was originally injured, that one has healed, but to the right knee, the one injured on TAW. And the workers comp settlement was far less than a driver earns in one year. About half. So now his career is gone, his income as well. As a side note, UPS could/would have created a full time position for this driver,(they did it before for a driver that ended up a diabetic and was removed from driving) but because of the union contract, the job would have to be put up for bid in less than a year, and the most senior driver would get the job, and this driver would be unemployed again. d [/QUOTE]
