Do any of you drivers known anybody that got a dui and was discharged because they weren't able to get their license back within a year.
Yes, we have had two drivers terminated withing the last year for getting a second DUI, here in Oregon if you get 2 DUI's in a 10 yr period your license gets revoked for 5 years.Do any of you drivers known anybody that got a dui and was discharged because they weren't able to get their license back within a year.
I got my dui on Dec 16, 2006. My license was supposed to be suspended for 6 months starting on Jan.1,2007 til July 31, 2007. During that time I worked inside the buliding. I went to court on April 13 and plead guilty. A couple weeks later I get a letter saying my license is being revoked. I called the Secratary of State to see if they made a mistake, they told me it wasn't and that I had to wait til Jan. 31, 2008 to reinstate it. So i worked inside til that date. I tried to get my license back and got denied. So i tried again and got denied. Ups told me that I had til April 13, 2008 to get my license back or discharged. So I tried again and still got denied. April 13 passed and I called my boss and he told me I was discarged. I called my union steward and he told me that Ups should send me a letter of discharge. That never came I called the union steward and he filed a grievance. On April 20 I called my lawyer and told him what happened. Two days later my license was reinstated and that the state revoked it in error.
I suggest you privately beg for your job back. And hope you learned your lesson.
I went to a hearing panel on Thursday. It was a deadlcked decision. Ups tried to argue that because I didn't have my license within the one year I shouldn't return to work. The union tried to argue if the Secretary of State didn't revoked my license by mistake I would have had my license within the one year deadline.
dont drink and drive and you will have no problem
I showed the panel all my papers. I had the letter of suspension, the revocation and a paper saying the revocation was rescinded. They still kept giving me a hard time with all the questions they were asking. The union steward and me had to explain it a couple times that the state made a mistake. Each of them had copies of the papers and they still didn't understand it.
or they understood, but are not interested in bringing back a DUI.

I'm not too sure the DUI really has anything to do with it except it is the "excuse/reason" they are using. It really seems that UPS managers are really big on firing people and take every chance they see. Then when it comes panel time the first one (for sure) and the second are bound and determined to back up the center manager. My perspective from observance.or they understood, but are not interested in bringing back a DUI.
