[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1116471, member: 31414"] Hoaxster.......glad that you asked... Sad...but True... I caught my immediate supervisor falsifying a timecard about 5 weeks ago. This FT supervisor moved ten minutes of OT from one day to the following day's time card to "hide" the OT. In other words, the employee had 5 hours 10 minutes on Monday. To avoid those nasty conversations with their center manager and DM.....about OT, this supervisor simply put the 10 minutes of OT from this employees card as straight time the following day (Tuesday). The affected employee happened to mention this to me at the end of that week. Rather than make an immediate issue out of it, I investigated and collected hard copies of the time card etc... [U]There were several issues for seniority part-time employees that I was having a difficult time with....even with "Union" contract language. We have an elderly seniority part-timer..... that for a variety of reasons is unable to stand up for himself.[/U] Our supervisors put him in a trailer day after day while lesser seniority people work happily along in the small sort. I asked for over two months for our company to recognize seniority and allow this elderly employee out of the trailers. Along comes "supervisor dishonesty".....as outlined above. I filled out a grievance in violation of Article 17 (Central Region Supplement)... The center manager actually saw me time stamping the grievance when I came into work. That center manager told the full-time supervisor in charge of our shift...NOT to accept ANY grievances from me...... He told his FT supervisor to tell me that I will just have to wait until the following week when he would return on a Tuesday. Little did he know...that this was a DISHONESTY grievance on his own FT supervisor. When I presented the FT supervisor with the grievance, this supervisor looked at me and said "Mr. Center Manager told me NOT to accept any grievances from you". "You are supposed to give this grievance directly to him next Tuesday." I looked at this supervisor and said, "It would definitely be in your best interest if you accept this grievance NOW".... When I told this supervisor that it was a dishonesty grievance on them....they immediately accepted the grievance and read it over.
