There are too many ways to record them. There as no need to 'announce' it. We all know the rules on recording. They can, we can't. Unless you are sneaky!!!
What do you do when UNION and grievance procedure fails you??? Get a lawyer and keep fighting! I refuse to give up my dignity for this filthy company. We sacrifice way too much of our lives to be treated like sh-- in return. All the money in the world would never be enough to replace the dinners I have missed with my family or the activities with my kids. And I truly have pitty for those that think otherwise.
- Your father has been a man who acted according to his beliefs and certainly has been faithful to his convictions.
- Grow up as good revolutionaries. Study hard to be able to dominate the techniques that permit the domination of nature. Remember that the Revolution is what is important and that each of us, on our own, is worthless.
- Above all, try always to be able to feel deeply any injustice committed against any person in any part of the world. It is the most beautiful quality of a revolutionary.
- Until always, little children. I still hope to see you again. A really big kiss and a hug from Papa.

my numbers have ALWAYS been stellar (more often than not I run scratch on routes) and have an excellent customer service history

Dont get me wrong I love my Teamster brothers, consider many of them extended family. I have 8 actual blood relatives that work in the building. The problem I find is that most are too afraid to file grievances or even speak up for themselves. The fact is if more of us were willing to file we wouldnt have the problems we have with the company. If I dont end up getting my position back I most definitely will be fine. I have the backing of an amazing wife and family that will support my transition into a new career. I owe it to them to stand by my morals and not let this blood sucking company strip me of my self respect or dignity. Good luck and god bless all of you. I will check in periodicaly.

In the State of Ohio it is NOT unlawful to record your conversation with (1) one person even if they don't know it being done. It IS unlawful to record a conversation between two other people who do not know they are being recorded. And NO, there aren't any signs posted ANYWHERE on UPS property (where I work) about video recording, taking pictures and/or recording anything on company property. FMLA info isn't even posted where it is federally mandated to be (plainly in sight, in multiple locations where all employees traffic) much less the company rules prohibiting all those things afore mentioned that may encrimidate UPS and give all our secrets to the Russians and Chinese.UPS has clear signs on its property that states that RECORDING devices are NOT ALLOWED on property. Recording of any kind, visual and audio. When you began your recording, you did not have all parties permission and if you are in California, you BROKE THE LAW.
Plain and simple.
One poster said it best, Pick your battles wisely. You apparently chose to die on the hill with your recording device.
Good luck in arbitration.
Peace.
I have NEVER seen a sign or poster about the use of recording devices.UPS has clear signs on its property that states that RECORDING devices are NOT ALLOWED on property. Recording of any kind, visual and audio. When you began your recording, you did not have all parties permission and if you are in California, you BROKE THE LAW.

Not arguing with you, but upon walking into our hub, the sign says "This facility is monitored by cameras and surveillance (sp)". I think there is a definite moral issue if the company insists on recording people and oversupervising from video evidence (I personally was harassed about work pace issues from supervisors sitting in an office watching me on camera, for ex), but the company does not allow employees to document the very same environ.
ESPECIALLY when it was announced the conversation was being recorded, there were no privacy policies breached in my eyes.

You have been there long enough to know how better.
I explained that if there was an issue that she needed to address with me I would require that a shop Steward be present at all times.
This is where you should have stopped, the reason for shop stewards is to witness managements actions and record them into record, on paper, for future meetings, as well as protect your contractual rights.
I then said that I felt it necessary to record any such meetings.
You think it was a coincidence that you were in the office the day after you told them you were going to record them? They set you up and you fell strait in the trap, that you yourself laid the groundwork for.

That is the most insightful and credible piece of advice I have ever gotten from a stewart. Much appreciated.
