[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 324960, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]interesting case you have here. other posters are right you need to seek counsel from your steward and BA immediately. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]As someone from the other side I'm going out on a limb. I'll do so because I would like to save the company the 2 grand it costs to replace you and because I don't believe we handled the case fairly. In doing so I'm taking a chance that I might be helping a problem employee return to work. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]When you abandon your job the company does not need to get a steward involved. You left and did not notify management. You're gone. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]However you were allowed to punch back in the next day. Once you do so the waters get muddied. At this point you may not no longer be an employee that abandoned their job but one that was discharged. Whenever we had a job abandonment issue in the past we always made sure they did not punch back in the next day. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]If its now a discharge then you did not have representation. [/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000ff]You have 5 days to file your grievance , grieving the discharge. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
