[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 823801, member: 9500"] I see several issues: 1. Did UPS know you had to perform the community service? Did they know you were having criminal issues? 2. Did you actually attend the hearing where the steward represented you or did he represent you in your absence? If the answer to 1 is yes and you could prove it, the Company would be hard pressed to claim they had no knowledge of your possible whereabouts (besides your other efforts) and if their actions contributed to you not being able to complete your community service they could be culpable. If the answer to 2 is "No, you did not attend" then I would immediately go see your nearest office of the DOL and file an NLRB complaint alleging failure to properly represent you. Your case is probably not salvageable but I would certainly attempt to pursue it. I would also talk to a good labor attorney and keep in mind there are time limits to filing. There is no contract language addressing "job abandonment" that I'm aware of although some panels apparently see fit to just agree to enforce it (perhaps some local supplements address it). Also, there is no contract language that says you can be terminated immediately for being arrested. In fact, in some cases it says just the opposite. [/QUOTE]
