Fired for Unreported Accident

[olroadbeech]

wow. I read something like this and just shake my head. What did you do to put that huge target on your back? when they want somebody bad enough they get them.

there must be more to this story ( unless you are the unluckiest person in the world )

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

I didn't respond to challenge the notion that "it isn't worth it", rather the hypocrisy of the "methods" and how the Company enforces them.

It is my contention that the Company would have (and may have already) turned a blind eye during an observation if this driver was a favorable "numbers driver".....we have all seen it in the wake of posted telematics data?

Do me a favor, the next time you see your state patrol buddy, ask him how your state accesses "avoidability".

Who cares how the company enforces things when the strongest union in the world has your back?

If you put a tire track in someone's grass it is

That is very petty, and will never stick. A driver could very easily have a tire go on grass, on a tight road. The garbage trucks on my route are always driving on grass, but I have a rural route with lots of roads that are only wide enough for one vehicle.

All depends on how much they hate you. If I farted on a customers property they wanted to fire me. They never understood how to operated, friend with me its game on.

You have a weak ass local union rep if a driver was out for months because of this.....

No- it's the member that is to blame. Never the "union official". Lol.

Noooooooo, sometimes it is the union rep that sucks

Please refer to the lol at end of sentence. (Lol).

Here let me edit mine so there is also a "lol" at the end

Some people have no ability to drive a Pkg car.

Try as they might, it's not for everybody.

When have you done anything for the members in your Local.... if at all ?

 

[Days]

Not just trying to pick on you man but there are drivers who are on Facebook groups that are bragging about doing massive amounts of stops and being off at 5:00.... and straight up stating that they ran all day.....these kids will never make it 30 years here.... guaranteed.

lol I’d love to see their package cars

 

[clean hairy]

And thats why they told me to shut the hell up. Ive been brought to the office by management in the past without steward present.

When that happens
"I believe this meeting will lead to disciplinary action"
"I require a Union Steward before this meeting can start"
Then, you sit there and be quiet until a steward shows up.

It wasn’t like he ran grandma over.... it’s a little grass from a tail swing.... come on

 

[Coldworld]

Who from the Union told you that ?

You can't refuse to answer reasonable questions, and have a right to caucus

with your representative before providing any answers.


Cussing out management can wind up being a fast walk to the door....

I’ve seen drivers rip sups a new ass and slam doors walking out of the office with nothing happening to them.... yes, I feel it was a little extreme but nobody was walked out... seen that many times in package....

 

[Coldworld]

You made a U turn in an intersection. You were rushing.

If he was to get t-boned making a uturn that would be very bad and the driver and or ups would be sued for sure....I blame mgt for getting these kids so Uptight...

 

[Coldworld]

We know about weak representation but I've seen some major damage done to yards that would get a driver fired for a while if not called in.

If I've damaged someone's property I make contact with the company and the owner immediately. Even leaving a delivery notice with the local number on it (& getting a picture of it) if they arent home has helped document my honesty in the matter.

Yes cover your ass....sometimes they try to sweep it under the rug and other times go all out atomic for something so stupid.....these mgt folks are bipolar....

I brought donuts once

 

[MarvelousMunata]

I see what you did there

Agreed. And at some point this kids need to SLOW THE friend DOWN!!! The don’t understand they are only as good as their last mistake.

 

[walk the jewels]

Well, looks like it's over for me. Anybody know if FedEx is hiring?
