Termination Due to Unreported Accident

Maybe, but does she really have anything to lose at this point?

Exactly. Perhaps she may even have something to gain by going this route---like her job.

Like bottomups said...her job. We shall see what happens..

Her employment at UPS comes to mind.

Sounds like at this point they already have her dead to rights. Groveling sucks, but it does have its place.

Had one of our major runner/gunners not report an accident last November in my center. Was off for about two weeks and was supposed to go to panel on Wednesday, December 4th. We were extremely short of drivers due to bad weather setbacks and injuries. He was called into work on Tuesday December 3rd and granted his job back without a panel decision.
There is a posting now on UPSers.com highlighting the drivers who delivered more than 400 stops per day in our district and his name was mentioned for 5 different days.
Last three drivers in my center prior to this one were terminated at panel, but they were some of the least best in terms of production.
Double standards anyone?
BA says this will send one hell of a precedent for future nonreports.

Goes to prove that their ethics/integrity are all situational. Labor would of had to sign off on that, I would think.

At ups, being truthful could also be giving management the rope they need to hang you with...

In my experience I've seen telling the truth and being upfront when questioned helping you way more than hurting you. Even if you did wrong, the truth is always the best option. And yes, I know this from personal experience as well.

Cement...I'm not disagreeing with you. After getting caught and fired for a cardinal sin....I honestly don't know what would be the best course of action.

 

[Cementups]

well, tell the truth and get slapped on the wrist. Lie and get caught telling the lie and the punishment is usually much worse.

In this case I would just say the driver in question could admit to being scared of repercussions. Ignorance sometimes can get you pretty far too.

Upststate- is she the only women driver in your building? Maybe she can go with, she isn't treated fairly route. If she has no other choice. Last resort. Safety awards mean nothing people. Report it.

Like I said. I agree. I really have alot of respect for you lady drivers. Especially as you get older. Our last lady. Retired with about 20 yrs. Her body just couldn't do it anymore. I'm 6'4. 230 lbs. I hope to make it in my rat race. I just want to retire without major physical problems.

I thought this thread was to warn people about not going this route. Instead, it's now about how to cyb.

What a waste of time.

To clarify, I'm a loader not a driver.

Ahh! There is a difference then. Not saying loading isn't difficult.

I've been waiting 7 years to go driving....still don't expect special treatment.

This thread is about being honest and upfront; however, when that ship has sailed, it is never too late to bring it back to shore.

I am 6' and 165 lbs. It's all about the methods.

Unless, the Art 17 hole in the bottom of it causes it to sink before it gets to shore.

Found out today she will be getting her job back tomorrow morning. Two weeks off, time served suspension, no back pay.

Also found out that she did nearly $3,500 worth of damage to the pkg car.

Sounds about right to me.

Thank you for posting an update. I am glad she will be back at work.
