[QUOTE="cino321, post: 134782, member: 6786"] I posted this in the "Life after Brown" forum by accident.... Good morning. I am a preloader with a route assignment. I have about 5 months of seniority (although I'm like #14 out of 35 in my center). I came into work today feeling sick and decided I can't work like this. I tell my supervisor I want to leave. I have a 3:30 start. He asks if I can wait around till like 4:30 when my shop steward comes from lunch (he's a full timer) so he can pull my route. I said alright I'll give it a shot. Around 4 o'clock he comes to me and says that if I leave sick on him there are things he can't do for me anymore in regard to off routes and air in the load, things of that nature. I decided to leave at 4:16 because I couldn't handle it anymore. I have a really heavy assignment (3 P1000's and a van) I pull about 1900 pieces daily, sometimes more. My loads aren't perfect. (I'm dealing with old school drivers who are used to having the same preloader for the last 7 years before I came along so they're not making my life easier) I learned the assignment with old charts so they're not too accurate, every now and then I get a off route or a air in the load, it happens. I do however have good attendance, I've called in sick once I've been late twice since I started. My question is... do I have grounds for harassment? I mean this guy was clearly trying to threaten and blackmail me to stay and work. I'm only 19 of course they're gonna try to take advantage of me but this is a little ridicolous. When I come back to work tomorrow I want to have something constructive to say so any help would be appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
