[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 807495, member: 17969"] Sober, You are partially correct. Indeed, in the West we have a 7 cardinal infraction rule, however, the caveat to that rule is simple. Proven dishonesty is an automatic termination and does NOT have to be precluded by a warning letter. This in conjunction with article 6 language is a death blow to any driver cheating the system. Whether or not a driver is returned has nothing to do with the language and all to do with the negotiations between the union and the company. A cardinal infraction need not be precluded by any other discipline for a similiar action. The clause you stated: "No Employee(s) shall suffer suspension or discharge without the employee(s) having been given a written warning notice......." only applies to infractions that are not on the cardinal list. If you carefully read article 6 with respect for the section I quoted, it states that an employee CANNOT be terminated on a FIRST OFFENSE from information obtained through GPS or Any other system (telematics). What does this mean? It means that the company cannot fire you the first time you are caught doing something or anything on telematics that doesnt comply with some company standard. However, the second, third fourth and so on, its fair game. The window for this discipline is huge and no rider, supplement or MOU can protect a driver in the west. Proven dishonesty in arbitration will be a cake walk for the company using the telematics data. Dont believe that the language in the West will help you. Guilty drivers always get brought back the first time, but the second one will stick. Peace. [/QUOTE]
