[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 311256, member: 9789"] There you go with the conspiracy theory that management is out to get all non-management! Because of the TV exposure, discipline would need to be swift. A covert operation to go after this driver would not make the point necessary to set the example. I know you know this!!! As you already know, I don't think you should fire someone just because UPS got embarrassed on local TV. This is where the union comes into play. I stand by what I say. Gross negligence will be hard to prove. Therefore the case for termination is hard to prove. There was no injury or accident. A good BA should be able to throw enough doubt out there to eliminate a decision of termination. I would not allow [B]hypotheticals[/B] to come into play! Stay with the facts and the video - throw in some remorse and the case is won. [B]If [/B]it were your wife and kids out there and [B]if[/B] someone got killed and [B]if[/B] the feeder hit a car there could be a chain reaction.... They weren't -no one did - there was none! [COLOR="Red"][B]Warn the driver and retrain him. Why do we always look for the worst in our people. I will bet the driver kicked himself in the butt after he realized what he did. End of story! [/B][/COLOR] If he has another unsafe act .... well he becomes fair game and grounds for termination have been established. [/QUOTE]
