[QUOTE="chuchu, post: 1102480"] Ok....we just had a female FT driver hit a 2 ft wide concrete light post, bending the front bumper out and smashing the fiberglass front end of a P-10....and did NOT report it. The accident happened after lunch so she had all day to see the damage and call it in. She gambled and lost because the driver who had the route the next day found the damage and reported it. It was her 10th accident in about 12 years. Management took her out of service for dishonesty and failure to report, etc for termination. She told the steward that she "got out of the truck and saw the damage and there was paint missing on the front housing too". The very next day her testimony was "I never got out of the truck to see the damage". When she cried in the office during the initial interview, the management deleted the DISHONESTY part out of the termination charge. What bull. After about four weeks they gave her job back to her. So, consider this: We had two male drivers do the same thing and they no longer work at UPS. We also had this female drivers buddy (also a female driver) wreck a truck, ripping 3-4 ft of aluminum off the top of the truck. She DID NOT REPORT IT EITHER and ALL SHE GOT WAS A WRITE UP! I know these incidents to be true because I am the FT steward who sat in the hearings and watched these whole disgustingly one-sided events go down. I believe the company has directives toward "numbers" in many catagories as do many other companies but if I was one of the male drivers that got terminated (permanently) for the same things these female drivers did I would be finding myself an attorney group that wanted to make some money and I would go get some back pay. I'm going to make sure all the men learn to cry in the office when they are getting written up so they can get off with lesser punishment. The UPS saying of old used to be " right is right everyday". Now it is more like "who" is right versus "what" is right. It makes me sick. [/QUOTE]
