[QUOTE="cantwin69, post: 246734, member: 11677"] I am now involved with my steward who, by the way, is one of the coolest guys I've met at UPS. I feel like part of a burden has been lifted, like I finally have someone on my side. I have read the entire Master Contract. Cover to cover. ARTICLE 14. Compensation Claims When an injury is reported the reference number will be given to the employee and WHEN REQUESTED, A COPY OF THE INJURY REPORT WILL BE FURNISHED TO THE EMPLOYEE WITHIN (2) TWO WORKING DAYS OF SUCH REQUEST. A COPY OF THE INJURY REPORT WILL ALSO BE FURNISHED TO THE LOCAL UNION IF REQUESTED BY A LOCAL UNION OFFICIAL. I requested the report Monday night and tonight, Wednesday it still wasn't provided. I printed out Article 14 and brought it to the safety manager. His exact words were," I still can't give it to you because like the Bible, this contract is open to interpretation" He then says he interprets article 14 in a different way. I later learned his District Safety Sup told him not to give it to me. I'm now ready to fight them in every way needed. I met with my steward after this and he says it seems pretty cut and dry. I filed three grievences tonight and feel like the fight has begun. #1. Not providing the injury report within the two day period. #2. I filed for penalty pay because I learned it could be a couple of weeks till I get that vacation check. #3. I filed to be paid for the time I spent after my shift at my doctor. ARTiCLE 14 Section 1 ....UPON RECEIVING THE AN EMPLOYEE'S TIMELY REPORT OF AN INJURY, THE EMPLOYER SHALL NOT PRESSURE THE EMPLOYEE TO WORK. WHEN, BECAUSE OF SUCH PRESSURE, AN EMPLOYEE SPENDS TIME IN A CLINIC AFTER HIS NORMAL FINISH TIME, THE TIME SPENT SHALL BE THE SUBJECT OF A PAY CLAIM THROUGH THE GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE. Knowledge is power. [/QUOTE]
