[QUOTE="705red, post: 553473, member: 5229"] I have represented several different drivers in the past that were pulled from service from supervisors while on road. I had one driver that refused to even get in a car with a sup and started walking back to the building until he found a taxi. He was put back to work with ALL his back pay! Once that employee has been pulled from service he is no longer an employee in the companies eyes! If he was they would not cut the medical benefits before the case goes to panel. I have read every post on this and alot of people have great points and see things different then others. The driver refused to do what he felt was illegal and unsafe by double parking. What people forget to mention is this was during a "production ride". This means this driver was over allowed and sounds like he was by the book. The only thing the sup could have him due to lower his over hours would be to take short cuts. Now if the driver is doing everything by the methods, why force him to work unsafe and illegal? Why not retime study the route? Article 18 spells it out! [B]Preamble[/B] [B]The Employer and the Union agree that the safety of the employees and the general public is of utmost importance. [/B] The problem here is UPS has a huge push on over allowed drivers! IE swears that their numbers are perfect so its the driver screwing UPS! Hogwash! I had a driver who had 6 rides in a several week span and nothing was told to him except your spending a couple seconds to long looking for the packages. A couple seconds? That doesn't equal out to 3 hours a day of over allowed hours. The sup just recently did a demonstration ride and was a full 2 stops less per hour then this driver. The point here is we will see more of these situations in the near future because of these over allowed hours. The sups are being pressured to fix these drivers while its not the drivers that need the fixing its the numbers! From what i have read here, this driver if he has stones will be back to work with at least some back pay, that is if his local has any back bone, and California has some very strong Teamsters!
