[QUOTE="just interested, post: 775087, member: 29357"] If he had no idea or feedback for how he was doing, then how can he improve? The training manual, I believe, says that the supervisor should be meeting nightly with the trainee going over that day's performance. How can he assimilate his day without any reference point or review of each day? There is so much to learn as a new driver! Numbers by themselves mean nothing - the union doesn't recognize it, nor does the union contract. I believe it says something about "age?" and "condition?" Here it is: Article 37 Section 1: ....."The employer will treat employees with dignity and respect at all times, which shall include, but not be limited to, giving due consideration to the age and physical condition of the employee." 25 driving days, yes they can choose without cause to disqualify you in the area of driver qualification, but were you hired as a "reg-temp" employee? Do you have a different classification, such as part-time preloader? Did you go to the 5 day Integrad training? Did you have a 1 day "ride-along"? If so, then those training days still count as "work days" and if you've hit 30 work days within a 90 day period, then you may be protected as a general employee, but perhaps not as a driver. Maybe the steward and you should approach management and ask them to define, if they hadn't already, what they consider as appropriate stats - what exactly they expected from you - and ask them to give you the last 5 days to reach the goals, if they are even reasonable, that is. I know there is a training manual outlining how you are to be trained, but I've never actually seen it. But if they didn't follow the training guidelines, then perhaps that's an area for grievance. "lack of proper training" good luck [/QUOTE]
