[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 747820, member: 18708"] Is being charged with an avoidable accident a disciplinary meeting? I was told it was not, so there was no steward in meeting. I had an "avoidable" last week and had a sit down with two sups, CHSP driver, and center manager. Hit while parked /backed into, this after speaking with the person who hit me and I wasn't even in the vehicle. Parked safely on right side of road, hazards on, wheels slightly off road. Didn't know the area well so I asked him where the apartment in question was. He said one of two buildings so I was on my way so I thought. It was deemed avoidable because I didn't back first, turnaround and block in the vehicle. However I didn't back first because it was presumably a dead-end, with lots of parked cars in the spaces ahead. The guy I talked to in passing was leaving and I was going to do a drivers side back in the space he was taking instead of getting caught in a less optimal back/turnaround unknown mess further up. There was no liability on my part, the guy just backed right up and hit my vehicle and admitted to it. I wasn't even aware of what happened making the delivery until I jumped in the truck, did my back, and was msging ctr about a NDA. The guy drove back to the scene and admitted to it. Is this a discipline measure (avoidable, unavoidable) and should it be grieved? [/QUOTE]
