[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 331504, member: 6408"] I'd have to disagree here. "Failure to follow safety methods isn't a cardinal infraction?". In [B]Article 17-Discharge or Suspensions [/B]in the Central Region Supplement of the National Master United Parcel Service Agreement, part (i) states: "other serious offenses" Every since this was inserted into this article, the company has interpreted this to apply to almost ANYTHING! Sure, this language should be eliminated or narrowed down some but the point is, "other serious offenses" could certainly and have been interpreted to mean "Failure to follow safety methods". "Not following direction", "Insubordination", "Unsafe worker", I can think of many ways the company can terminate you for not wearing your seat belt, that is, many terms they can use to fire you. Also, is not mandatory seat beat use state law now in most if not all states? The Federal Government pinched states some time ago "urging" them to adopt this law or have federal funding cut off for roads or other projects. Could we be fired for not following state law? You answer that. Somthing so simple to do and comply with, besides possibly saving your life, is a no-brainer for me to keep my job and not go through a termination and grievance process. [/QUOTE]
