[QUOTE="gorilla75jdw, post: 4511239, member: 15201"] Interesting, very interesting last few weeks for a few of us stewards , the "feeder" management team , our excellent "B.A." ,and an recently reinstated feeder employee. Stay with me , so here goes . Just looking to bounce thoughts , ideas , contractual language etc etc off of my union brothers and sisters collectively. We have a unique situation going on at our facility, whereas an employee had a rough patch on his life 3 or more years ago , which affected his D.O.T. qualifications , during that time of getting his affairs in order the employee suffered a horrible accident and broke his back up really bad , dang near could of been paralyzed, however the employee did what he had to do to get better on all fronts , grew in a positive direction and is doing really well in his personal life , and as far as I can see he is doing well on the clock as well , inspite of the company still not allowing this employee to do his bid job , which is a C.D.L. feeder driver as to which he has all his requirementsand qualifications/paperwork in order except one supplemental type of form as to which he had "BUT" , this employee has assured all parties that he can produce these unneeded papers/document , therein lies the proble . !?!? So here goes more clearly, the employee suffered alot of mental issues and setbacks that he has managed to deal with and overcome with the help of medications and also having a "service dog" which really has shown to relax and steady this brother .
