[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 568177, member: 484"] Tie The points you make are valid. They would set the tone for the company to either let it slide, or play hardball. The problem I have with the tactics are that they are not very professional. They reek of attempts at intimidation. Not at all what should be used by those seeking to pass themselves off as professional management employees. As far as being a steward on something like this, it does have the potential to be ugly, and while there are extenuating circumstances on the part of the driver, it is still 100% his responsibility to make sure he has a valid license. Period. Goes back to the old saying, ignorance of the law is not an excuse. I am also sure that the local management is not in charge of the decision, that comes from above. But sometimes those with angry mouths at the beginning of the conversation end up causing real trouble at the conclusion of the issue. As for our contract and the legal rights of the steward, our contract states that the rights spelled out in the contract are in addition to any law of the land that applies, and if there are any limits in the contract that would violate such law, the law supersedes the contract language. So any rights given that were law under wiengarten are actually a given in our contract. That being said, that does not give the steward the right to be disruptive or antagonistic at the hearing. You confer with the driver, you council the driver, and you politely interrupt when you have a point to make or to tell the driver its time you shut up. The driver has the right to not self incriminate. d [/QUOTE]
