You sure? I would say firing someone for getting a drink is harassment.
Can I sue for wrongful termination if I am in a union?

Not allowing an employee to hydrate is a OSHA violation. Any driver fired for seeking fluids would have the right to sue.

Some places maybe that would work. Around here, don't want to be in court for any reason. Judges can do whatever they want, and rarely it is in favor of the working man.

If what you’re saying is to be true, then this is crazy. 3min of production time being used to grab a drink gets you discharged.
Well you can thank the union for that. Too much unnecessary tension around here.

He's all good until we find out he was at Starbucks buying a grande iced mocha espresso Frappuccino with whip cream.
Today my sup met me 60plus miles away from the center at a truck stop and was doing an “observation “ between me and another driver. First thing he did was give me a box going to the middle of nowhere and wanted me to build the manifest. We both told him we can’t because the board is locked. He literally tried both our boards to build Manifest. (We punched in our break as soon as we finished our air transfer and didn’t say a word while trying to figure out what was going on). As you know on break the board is useless. He mentioned in passing that they are trying to clean up loose ends and are checking everyone.Who’s in the beginning of the year plus contract year discharged club , I didn’t record my 3 min stop to buy a drink , so I’m in the club. And apparently 6 others in my hub
My advice is to use the break button when you’re doing questionable stuff. We were just messing around but we were protected by the Diad. If an old guy like me is a target you better believe the young guns are close behind.

Do you mean "time outs,break" or "other work - 086"?
For whatever reason we can't use the break function, only meal and 086.

Been there done that. That’s shuttle work.
I was thinking about that. I gotta figure out what info I’m working with. (I might not be the target) Definitely don’t wanna put the heat on the driver beside me.
This board isn’t exactly easy to use
