I ODS'd the center that I was missing a package. It was a send again from the day before, which had a service cross on pkg. The package got mixed up in my send agains and was found by a supervisor as I was offloading pkgs to clerk. It was an honest mistake, however I was fired for dishonesty. What can I expect? Please give me some info, I'm worried I'll loose a lot of time and money or worse ... Without a job..
First, and FOREMOST, you notify the union and file a grievance, as in, YESTERDAY!
Next, sit in on all meetings, local, state, national, whatever you have to do to persuade UPS, and union, by the way, that you want your job!
Next, and I hope your local is aware of this and follows thru, there are two types of grievances, as has been stated here before:
1) When you file for contract violation, the burden of proof is on YOU and the union.
1) When you file a grievance for discipline or are disciplined, the burden of proof is on UPS. What does that mean? In your case, UPS has to PROVE
you were intentionally dishonest and stuffed this S/A. Their word or the word of a supervisor is not enough.
For more details, wait here. You're gonna get about 5,236 different details and ways to handle it.
Long story short...get ahold of union now and be aggresive in filing and following up.
