Brief history of me with UPS... I've worked for UPS on/off for a total of 6 years out of the last 9 years. Attendance good, work ethic good (since last March I've only had 4 misloads)! I have not had any issues about anything during my time at UPS up until about 6 months ago.
Brief history of part time sup involved.. This part time sup has been fired for workplace violence before when he was a preloader. The BA got him his job back, shortly thereafter he went into management. Ever since he's been in management he's been grieved against for harassment, hostility and aggression towards union employees most recently the beginning of this month 3 times!
This part time supervisor moved to our area of the building and since he's been there almost everyone out of the 9 employees that work that area have filed some sort of complaint.grievance against him.. and these people have never filed before. I would keep my mouth shut about how I felt about the way he mis treated my fellow co workers.
So during this last peak season (2015) one of the pcm's was if your sick with the flu to stay home to prevent affecting other employees. I've been sick twice since the first of the year missing a total of 3 days due to illness so I could get better. I have a fulltime job on top of the part time UPS job to support my wife and I while she's a fulltime student.
The issue at hand;
Almost 2 weeks ago the part time sup told me that I would not be doing a certain set of cars until my attendance gets better. I was like wtf?! I alternate sets with another guy every other day. My response to the part time sup was "ok, I don't want you touching any more packages" since he did this on a daily basis. He handled irregs later that morning for 20 minutes so I filed a grievance. The remedy I wanted was for him to be moved to another area so he could no longer harass/belittle anybody else in my area. The next day he was moved to a different location in the building. The following day after he was moved he came to my area and into one of the package cars that I was in and got in my face with his finger in my face saying he was going to *#%+ me up if he saw me outside of work and put his forehand against mine. No witnesses saw the contact and I immediately went to my shop steward and told him what had happened. Told my side of the story to the center manager and was taken out of service since there was physical contact made. I have been out of work for almost 8 days now.
I went for the local hearing and was left unresolved now it's going to the panel... I just want to know what you guys think the outcome might be based on your experience. I have never had to deal with something like this before so I'm kinda worried since I need the benefits for my wife and myself. I can't really afford to go to panel since it requires air travel.
