Longtime lurker 1st time poster here. Complicated situation. I worked for ups for 7 years. Started as a seasonal Walker got asked to stay on as preload. Got asked to stay on and apply for preload supe. Knew enough by that point to say hella no!! Got accepted as full time driver for 4 years. Just a note I worked out if a very small center. 18 routes. 1 manager/supe. 1 ecs clerk that did returns internationals dmgs timecards counter work customer service etc. Drivers were required to fuel wash and keep clean their own trucks. Drivers were also required to do their own local sort. We have a manager that doesn't care and a very weak union rep and a ba that I suspect is corrupt . I actually quit due to the harassment and intimidation but have been unable to leave ups behind. As for the level of harrassment imagine being blocked in the back of your truck by your manager and union rep and being yelled at for close to an hour being told that I can't leave until they finish. Then getting written up for your overallowed. They said it was because u was stealing company time. Imagine being walked in on in the bathroom by you male manager because the locks don't work. Imagine breaking your ankle walking g across a construction site while delivering a pkg and being suspended for not following work procedures. Imagine working In a center where a bid route list hasn't been posted in 4 years. Now when I went to hr about this manager I got a no answer runaround. Nothing was done. I dont trust my union steward because of the whole blocking me in the truck incident. I went to my ba and he told me he wouldn't accept my harrassment greivance because it was too hard to win. When I went above his head to the national union office it got bumped down the chain and I got a stern talking to by 2 lvls of management my union rep and my ba and was close to being accused of having an agenda. I lived my job but management made it impossible to stay the last few straws were being reprimanded for using the diad to communicate and to use my personal cell phone instead. The ba said the reprimand was valid. So I guess my question is can anyone on here think of any avenues to pursue to try and resolve this? Btw harrassment does not constitute a human rights violation. And the labor board says because I am part of a union they can't help either. Sry for the long post. Kudos to those who read it.
