[QUOTE="soberups, post: 777314, member: 14668"] They do this because the company chooses to pursue disciplinary action against them for something that [B]wasnt their fault[/B]. The distinction between "fault" and "avoidability" becomes pretty meaningless when your livelihood becomes threatened. The disciplinary process that is spelled out in the labor agreement is like a pistol that management wears on their hip. 99% of the time it stays in the holster and all is well. A warning letter is the equivalent of pulling that pistol out and aiming at the employees head. A suspension hearing is the equivalent of cocking the hammer....and we all know what a termination equates to. I dont like having guns pointed at my head, even if I know they arent loaded. Equally important is the fact that a manager who would go ahead and issue a warning letter for being hit while legally parked no longer has [I]any credibility[/I] [I]whatsoever [/I]among his employees, so when the time comes that he might actually have something [I]meaningful[/I] to say about safety... [B]no one is paying attention[/B]. [/QUOTE]
