[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1142286, member: 42270"] What supplemental agreement are you covered under? While it's fairly universal that a 3 day no-call, no-show is "job abandonment", "considered to have voluntarily quit", etc. it might be different in this case. Although, I don't consider giving your management team a heads up in advance a no call no show. You should absolutely be disciplined/reprimanded but not terminated over it. It sounds like more senior guys in your operation bidded on that week for vacation so they could have the three day weekend on the tail-end before they come back and they slotted in ahead of you. For future reference: that's how seniority works and you gotta live with it, but that's neither here-nor-there now. You need to find out if you were actually terminated for 3 day consecutive no-calls. You'll know within 10 business days as the company must notify both you and your local via certified letter. The fact that a steward heard you tell your manager you would be absent helps you out a bit. When you get in touch with your Business Agent, you should ask him to get a statement from this steward ASAP. If you haven't had attendance issues before, this probably won't stick. The fact that they're "unable to work" you sounds like they're trying to punish you; you should continue showing up to work every day on time and consider grieving for your 3.5 hour gurantee. If you do this, you have a deadline of [b]5 working days[/b] to get the ball rolling; ie. you come in to work Tuesday - Friday (assuming you don't work Sundays on the Day sort) , the latest you can file on that gurantee would be the following Tuesday. If they want to fire you for a 3 day no-call, they should go ahead and take your ID and do it properly instead of trying to starve you out to "teach you a lesson." And next time, find a payphone.
