[QUOTE="Griff, post: 322211, member: 7111"] [B]UPS management tries to get away with what you let them get away with.[/B] A line in the sand needs to be drawn and it is done through the grievance procedure. If your husband's local union (steward, BA, etc) hasn't instructed him to grieve any of this, he's being bamboozled.
