[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 1302809, member: 7966"] From the [URL='http://www.businessinsider.com/why-ups-fired-250-workers-2014-4']article[/URL]: UPS said it dismissed Reyes on[B][COLOR=#ff0000] Feb. 14 [/COLOR][/B]because he repeatedly clocked in earlier than his shift was set to start, which resulted in his being paid overtime for hours that he allegedly didn't work. According to the union, Teamsters Local 804, the firing violated an "innocent until proven guilty" clause that allows terminated employees to continue working until they have had an opportunity to defend themselves in a hearing with union and UPS officials. That hearing was eventually held on [B][COLOR=#ff0000]Feb. 26[/COLOR][/B] at the Maspeth distribution facility where Reyes worked, and his termination was upheld. Immediately following the meeting, Reyes walked out of the facility with about 250 workers in tow.
