Fired for something that happened a month ago?

Hello! On 6/13 I went to work at my local hub, everything was normal as usual until I noticed my building manager by my unload trailer. He then began to question me and ask me if I was ok, trying to get a rise out of me. I told him that I was perfectly fine and I would appreciate if he leave me alone and work. He then tries to defend himself and say he is not harassing me. He then takes it a step further and says he is calling my steward over to talk with me.

About 5 minutes pass by and my steward and security show up at my unload door. The steward advises me to bring my belongings. When I got to the bottom of the ladder he said we were going to the building managers office to have a talk. When we get to his office he begins to question me about my attendance. My manager asked me what happened on 5/14 and why I didnt show up. I told him I dont know and then he proceeds to ask me for my UPS i.d. I talked with my steward for a minute and he told me that the manager is allowed to ask for my i.d which confuses me because they are bringing up something that happened a month ago, and I have gotten no letters in the mail.

The building manager then advises that I be escorted out of the building by security. On our way out we saw our BA walking in the door and stopped to talk with him for a minute. He said that he was going to keep in contact with me and reach out soon. Well, it has been a month since Ive been fired and I have recieved no information about what is going on.


No call or messages from UPS or my union. This whole situation seems fishy and I am not sure if the union is protecting me to the full extent. I messaged my steward 2 days ago and he says because I didnt file a grievance I'm pretty much done. I have been working with UPS for 5 years and still want my job. Are they doing me dirty by not going through the firing/grievance process or can I possibly be rehired? It is just hard for me to understand how they can use something against me a month ago when I even asked for time off, thank you for your time

I missed that day of worked because my cat died. I tried to ask for time off but they declined it because it wasnt a person. It did escalate quickly and I am confused why I am being "terminated" after only serving one, 1 day suspension in the past and I havent received any letters in the mail since.

Why did you not file a grievance? Why did you wait a month to reach out to your BA after being fired?

I figured. It upsets me that my union is letting this slide too. How do I go about getting a lawyer, I have never had to deal with something like this, Thank you.

My steward told me he filed a grievance on my termination. I waited a month to reach out to my BA because HE said he was going to reach out to me.

Well you're officially fired because you waited a month to check on your job. Good luck to you.

Remind your steward that a grievance needs an article from which you were disciplined for. Without a letter, no grievance. In most cases, discipline must be addressed within 10 days of the company's knowledge. Seeing it was an attendance issue, I believe the clock ran out prior to the company approaching you. I would try again with your steward, BA and finally a lawyer. Your local should have one that has experience with UPS issues.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.

If you wanted the job so bad, why wait I month? I would have been at his office every :censored2:in’ day.

Fired for one no call no show? Or what was the specific firing offense?
