[QUOTE="grgrcr88, post: 735744, member: 16611"] The first thing you and all drivers should do is learn the 340 methods inside out. If and when a Sup tells you to do something that is contrary to the 340 methods, ask him/her to give that to you in writing, signed and dated. Keep that with you so if you are ever written up in the future for doing what you were told to do you can pull it out and prove you are working as instructed. My guess is that you will not get it in writing, so if that happens ask if they are instructing you to disobey the methods, and show them the method from the manual. Ask again after that if they still want you to do it differently, if yes tell them you would feel much better about it if they put it in writing, if they still refuse ask why its such a big deal to put it in writing, if thats the way your supposed to do it. I would guess the sup will change his tune if you have the ammo to prove him wrong. Now be aware you do not have the right to refuse to do something a sup tells you. unless its illigal,imoral, or unsafe. But you can question the instruction. If it is not answered to your satisfaction then notate it(on your own time) get a steward when you get back to the building and the 4 of you go see the center manager, or better yet the D/M and pose the same questions to them, find out if the instruction in question is a new policy, if so you would like it in writing. As for the heat issues, giving you water and getting you to the hospital is what they are supposed to do. I don't know of anyone that thinks it a good idea to let someone go take a nap in the grass when in that condition. Not sure how you move the truck while sorting packages. I have to assume you mean that the sup was in the back while you were driving. That is something you can and should refuse, it is not safe and you should tell him the vehicle does not move until he is in the seat with seatbelt fastened. Also, if the sup was assisting you in anyway, touching packages, holding doors, any little thing that day cannot be used in the measurement of a fair days pay. You cannot use that day in a 3 day certification, I would also file a grievance for supervisor working and try to get double pay for all the time he worked. Handling packages is not their job. The following trace or not following trace issue is nothing you can fight. You must work as instructed. However I would also ask for that in writing and for the trace to be adjusted to the way they want you to run it. [/QUOTE]
