Neither have I. Are you saying that there should be no recourse for signing up to work and then not showing up?
no call no show

I cant honestly tell you he signed up to work. I didnt see the sheet. Neither did you or anybody else unless they work out of his building. As long as we are being honest I cant say what he signed. I dont personally feel like he should be punished for not showing up. How many times have you needed help and them not send it? It is what it is. Extra work is extra work. Not mandatory.

My calling for help that never shows is not the same as an hourly who without coercion signs a list to work an extra shift and then doesn't bother showing up.
I had said earlier that the warning letter was justified; I have had time to think about that and think that it was excessive and that a verbal warning would have sufficed. Letting this go would set a bad precedent.

What did the sign up sheet say?

Voluntarily signing the list and having an area and report time assigned means you are basically signing a contract.
If you didn't think that you screwed up you would have stopped responding by now.

It is Simple.
If you already were ASKED to come in and you agreed, you are obligated, like a Normal Shift.
If you are on the Call in list, and they call you can turn it down 3 times and removed from the list.
We have had guys asked to Double the rest of the week. If they agree, they MUST show up or it is a call in.

He didnt sign a contract. What in the wirld are you talking about. Your probably the one that sent him the warning letter. Give it a break mr. Ups. Let me ask you this. What if he had a wreck that morning on the way to work? What does he do then genious? No number to call. No way to contact the hub he was suppose to go to. What then. God forbid a family member passing, what then? Who does he call. You cant bleed brown that much. Dont worry op they will not fire you for one no call. Grieve it and I hope you win it.

The union doesn't recognize extra-contract agreements and bargaining unit members have always had the right to refuse a bid, whether to take a 22.3/feeder/package car job or a preferred job in the hub. The same applies to extra work.

If you say you are going to do to something - do it. Where's your work ethic? Don't blame others because you can't follow through and make it to work on time. Set an alarm.

Don't you think a verbal would have sufficed?

Being a teamster means taking your break between your 3rd a 5th hour.
You are on record as saying you do not do this.
So you should not give advice on following rules

I take my full lunch and break everyday at a time that works best for me.
I would never sign up for extra work and then not show up.

The employee did not just sign an extra work list -- he AGREED to work the shift. The company was burned because it implemented a plan based upon his presence; his fellow employees were burned since somebody who was interested in extra work may not have been able to perform it (instead, the job may have been performed by management).
Although uncommon since the Great Recession, my building frequently posted extra work lists (as specified by the local rider) for alternate shifts as well as alternate shifts in other area facilities. Most often, these lists were used to fill last minute needs, but sometimes they were used for advanced planning in creating staffing needs/start times/etc. Here an employee has become obligated to perform extra work once he/she has AGREED to come in.
I also agree the warning letter's justified.

Is this like giving advice on taxes?
