No, what was the reasoning on your discharge.
I haven't been discharged. This question has been asked to me multiple times by younger guys who still get pressure put on them by management, and I have no idea where to point them in the national master agreement or our supplement. Only thing I could find was in regards to electronics (Telematics). Other than that, I told them that pressure from management or an ORS is a tactic to see how much they can get out of a driver. No more, no less.
Article 37
We have guys/gals 4-5 hours Over, they don’t do anything but talk to them and ask them to do better. We’re in a situation where the employee has the upper hand, they’re afraid to pressure the newbies on anything for fear they will quit, and they have. We’ve got guys with 6”+ goaties.
Deliberately slow is stealing. Do the best you can with what you got. Eventually, we all screw up then they have you. If you do your best(I've found)(try to foster a good relationship with mgt.)(Try). Worked for me for 40 years. So far....
They will not tolerate 4-5 hours over. The system will collapse. I am curious about the whole facial hair thing. I would say there are more with beards than without(including me). I shave on Mondays, maybe midweek. With a mask and the whole virus thing, mgt. steers well clear. It is interesting looking over our feeder crew......full sleeve tats, neck tats, waist long braids on dudes, zz top beards...wow.
Tell them follow Orion 100%
If the termination was strictly numbers and nothing else you aren’t saying, enjoy the time off and the back pay check.
If you're always in the office you have to win every time. The company just has to win once.
