Fired. Can union bring back?

[Indecisi0n]

That does not take long enough to show up on a report.

If you bring your phone it does.

 

[Jones]

It's not who you know--it's who you .... P.S. There is probably more to this story than stopping to buy a candy bar and a cup of coffee to stay awake.

Well they didn't like the guy, that's for sure.

 

[John.bingo]

Don’t know the whole story
Asking for a friend. Lol
Just wanted to know if the union can bring someone back from this ?

The sup at the center said
Going to the washroom is still considered taking a break?

No, you don’t have to punch out a break to use the restroom.

Supervisors have no clue.

those who can’t drive supervise.


The short answer is yes. It can be possible to get your job back from stealing time.

Next time the supe ojs your buddy and he's out of breaks just tell him to soak his pants, go home, and file harassment the next day.

If they got fired for pulling over to use the restroom then yes. I could see this getting back pay.

Tell that stupid Mother that it’s not a break. Neither is staying hydrated or taking air conditioning breaks.

Unless it gets media coverage.

Stealing time, not gear.

I will gladly buy whatever time he managed to steal at a reasonable discount.

 

[rocket man]

REALLY bad time of the year to get fired

what time is the year is a good time to get fired?

 

[Raw]

Can`t be terminated or written up for what is found through telemantics, must be physically observed.

If a driver is caught stealing time and then fired
What are the chances of the union brining the driver back?

What did they claim you did? What kinda proof do they have?

 

[Jones]

Can`t be terminated or written up for what is found through telemantics, must be physically observed.

Section 6. Technology and Discipline
No driver shall be discharged based solely upon information re-ceived from GPS, telematics, or any successor system that similar-ly tracks or surveils a driver’s movements unless he/she engages in dishonesty

Usually it comes down to your SPHA (stops per hour average). If you’re busting out 185 stops in 9 hours no one is going to say anything about trivial crap like stopping to get a Red Bull on the clock. If you’re slow, let’s say it takes you 12 hours to get 120 stops completed, then you might find yourself on management’s radar. They will send supervisors out to pick apart your day.

I am not aware of any production standard that is in the contract or recognized by the Union.

 

[Staydryitsraining]

how long was it? You can’t poop that long

Some can. Haha

185 stops in 9 hours? My God I need to slow down

You should have got in a wreck on the way back to the building to keep them busy.

Stealing time is dishonesty, and dishonesty is covered in the contract and recognized by the union.

We're more likely to find someone who is stealing time when they have unreasonably poor performance. The reasons for this ought to be obvious. First, if you're stealing time, your performance must necessarily suffer because of it. Second, no one spends a ton of time going through telematics of drivers who do not appear to be safety, service, or performance problems, because there are plenty of actual and known safety, service, or performance problems to investigate and address; apparent problems are investigated in order of severity, so the guy who is 5 stops/hour below what is reasonably expected is WAY higher priority than the guy that's 0.25 stops/hour below what is reasonably expected.
