[QUOTE="Indy317, post: 761696, member: 30022"] 9 years with the company. Was hired as a seasonal driver. Two weeks before seasonal was up, had a Tier 1 backing accident. Don't deny fault, but I am a tad confused. Was shown the door back to my hub job. I found it a tad odd at no point was a steward brought it in. Also, found it strange I was made to take a computer test about backing after the accident, then sign off on it. Was this training I was supposed to have before? Then they back doored it in? Was basically told "we no longer need your services". I found that reasonable. Then was told I have a 1 year ban of working/applying for driving jobs, yet we have an air driver in our center who has a T1 accident on his record, but is still allowed to air drive. He got the package car stuck under a bridge underpass, messed up the roof. Pretty shook by the whole ordeal. The week I come back to work, they have postings for new drivers full time. So I can't apply for those, but the guys that get these jobs will have seniority protection after their first 30 days safe driving, something I could not get. I mean, the way it was told to me was that for a full time driver, and accident in your first 30 days is termination, but that after that a T1 would probably get you fired, but you would get your job back. Confused!? And sorry if that sounds like I am rambling. Will give further details upon request. [/QUOTE]
