Hi there been with ups for about 2 years now so last month had a driver helper with me. Was with him for a few days. Then the next day my boss and union rep are with me and was accused of ripping some packages labels and accused me of stealing. I filed a grievance has a meeting with union rep. The owner/operator didn’t want me back. They have no evidence on my and can’t proof that it was me. What should I do? Going for another meeting Thursday to request for my job back

Seems like we are not getting all the facts. You bring up a driver helper for some reason. Then bring up tearing off labels. Seem to be leaving a ton of stuff out.

Could be a broken box

Could be but he doesn't say that. Just gives vague info. I've never been in a meeting that was just.
"We think you're stealing. Ripped labels. You're fired."
How do they know the labels are ripped if he stole the boxes? Where were the boxes found? What were they? I'm sure he has all this info but for some reason he isn't sharing it

Or they're accusing him with no evidence

Even accusing him with no evidence would have more substance than what he gave. That's my point.

Plus if it was so much lack of evidence like he portrays. He wouldn't be on here asking what should he do because his BA would have already told him that it's a slam dunk and he'll be getting back pay.

Sounds like something’s went missing and someone is indirectly, blaming the driver helper because I don’t know what the driver helper had to do with it? Hard to tell because like you said there’s a lot of missing elements to the story.

I can only hope you explain your situation better in person otherwise you’re friend*ked. Can’t tell if you’re a driver or a driver helper. Who is the owner/ operator? Never seen that at UPS before…..

He worked somewhere for 2 years but he couldn’t tell you where it was.

When you say “Owner/Operator,” are you referring to Tractor-Trailers (Semi trucks?)
If it is an Owner/Operator and he is contracted with UPS, he owns the truck. And he probably told your boss not to have you scheduled anymore…
Therefore, UPS may try and discharge you, due to not having any available position to put you in. If I were you I would definitely exercise the Teamsters. Best of luck with recourse and re-employment.
