[QUOTE="ryredner, post: 496990, member: 21672"] I was discharged nearly a year ago for "gross insubordination," and am due to go to arbitration in May. I had a recent knee surgery before I returned to work, and on the second day back my knee began to bother me. A supervisor wanted me to go out and help another driver, but my knee was swollen and in a lot of pain. The supervisor told me I was was failing to follow instructions and that it was gross insubordination. I even offered to call my doctor and have a note faxed over at that very time. I was denied this. Other drivers even stated and wrote letters on my behalf stating that they could hear me express to the supervisor the condition of my knee, and was still discharged. It was also a non-working discharge, so I have had to pay my own benfits for my family and be without pay. It has been extremely difficult for me and my family, and just doesn't seem right. Has anyone else dealt with a case similiar to this? If so, what happened? Any input would be great. Ryan [/QUOTE]
