So we have a driver (not me) in our center who has had a couple of issues in the last year. During peak last year he asked a seasonal preloader (cute girl) if she wanted to play the "rape game". No clue what that is, nor did anyone else. A complaint was filed by another driver (not me) anf it went to HR. People were interviewed (not me) and during his route he was told to come back in. He was terminated that day after he had worked a few hours. He was brought back because he worked that day???
Fast forward to last week. He asked a 6 year preloader (black guy) "what do you call an old black guy?" ......"retired farm equipment". The preloader let the supervisor know to keep him away or it would not end well. She asked why..blah blah and he did not want to get into it. Well it came out and the supervisor took it to management. They talked with him about what happened without a union rep there and he went on delivering that day. Stuff has been said and it went to higher ups. He shows up at the facility this past Friday mid route and an ambulance hauls him away for a "mental breakdown". We are being told he cannot be terminated because he worked the day after he was talked to without a union rep there. Is there any truth to this? I do not know enough about any of this union stuff because I show up and do my job. No real need for representation when it comes to disciplinary reasons. This has now got to the regional manager and we have heard this is not over yet. Can someone explain to me how someone can keep his job when things are said like this?
