[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 463819, member: 4653"] First of all you have nothing tho worry about. You were not "scheduled" to work. Management must give you 24 hours notice to force you on a day you are not scheduled to work. Realistically, how can they expect to call you 30 minutes after the center start time and expect you to come in? I think it would be an answered prayer to them if you came in that day. I know when I'm off I don't answer the phone and don't know anyone who does unless they are desperate for hours. They can only assign from the bottom up if the drivers are given 24hrs. notice. That can't assign from the bottom up when you are told to stay home. They have no leg to stand on to issue a warning letter unless you are leaving some details out. What's even more absurd is the threat to pull your DOT card, lol! Your DOT card is pulled for medical reasons or bad urine samples, not for disiplanary purposes. Man, if you believed that line you are very new, very naive, and need to talk with the shop steward before you submit to very peculiar threats by your center team. Does the center manager even have the authority to pull your DOT card? I doubt it. I think that authority belongs to a doctor. [/QUOTE]
