Re: Anyone ever pursued or know of anyone that has pursued a lawsuit vs UPS harrasmen
I've filed on an On-Car Sup as a pt timer. It happened during a "talk with" or "verbal intimidation" session in front of a seasoned Steward. He went away while Security came down and investigated seeing if I'd keep it in- house, which I did.
I was fairly new and never understood why co-workers stood by and allowed clear contract violations and miss-treatment occur??
So, I filed on a Sup Working because I saw my brothers out on 12-13hr days well after peak and my pay and hours were cut as I was sent back pt.
Then came the the retaliation, extra work, constant audits, coming back from break finding a different Sup on your truck, observations, write ups for petty sh*+, etc..
Geez, I was red circled and had an un-wanted reputation now. Not good as a low seniority hourly.
The union from my local and a few out of state organizer brothers came down to our center to confront the issue with a show of force. The center manager almost crapped his pants the poor guy.
I was given a half arse appology by the on car sup who eventually was negotiated a returned.
I was given a full-time hourly job skipping 2 drivers who didn't sign bid. (I even reminded them it was up.)
So, choose your battles wisely my friend and remember.. the Law can give your job back and make you a little money even.. but UPS don't usually fire their mgrs or sups.
Only move 'em around per Law suggested proper training is met and eventually they're right back at your center.
