I am a pre-loader and have been employed with UPS for 15 years and am a union dues paying teamster in good standing. (to keep the thread on topic i should state that I have no intentions on going full-time nor do I seek a combo job.) I have been given 45 minutes prior to hub-start to scan send agains on 3 pens. My full-time supervisor said that I can only have this time if I am there every day on time. Stating that if I call in or am late he will take me off the send agains permanently. He documented this in my file folder with a shop steward present. I never agreed to this nor did I sign anything. His contention is that I have a proven history of undependability. The thing is my attendance record is better than at least 1 other scanner, who seems to call in on average once a week, with seemingly no repercussion ( he's still scanning). I have 2 sick calls this year.
Is it a violation of the contract or law for management to discipline one employee and not another for the same infraction?
Is it intimidation for him to threaten to pull the 45 minutes from me?
paraphrasing Article 37 section 1: The employer shall not intimidate, harass, coerce or overly supervise any employee in the performance of his or her duties.
Article 10 'priority of agrrement' of the supplemental agreement for 11 western states : The employer agrees not to enter into any agreement or contract with his employee, individually or collectively , which in any way conflicts with the terms of this agreement. Any such agreement shall be null and void.
