I was fired for tampering last week. Went to the panel yesterday and it was deadlocked and going to arbitration.
So this is how the day went.
I came in to work at 8:30 and got pulled over in the office by sup and got a letter for failure to follow procedures because i forgot to turn in an apple package at the end of day to the clerk and it was left in the truck. So anyways i was in the pffice til 9:20am then left for my route, got to my first stop 9:40am and started delivering air so i dont have any missed before 10:30am. My truck was brick loaded to where i had to lift my hand truck over packages just to get it to fit and close door. At 11:15 while delievering i accidently smashed my finger in the door so i called it in and a supervisor arrived in his personal car to see how i was doing and said another supervisor was on his way with a empty package car so i can switch and take the empty to the clinic. While waiting for other sup to get there, the supervisor who arrived first asked me to help him sort the car, so i helped him with that and by then the other supervisor had arrived and i left there to go to the clinic at around 1220pm. After returning to the building 4 hours later i was pulled in to an office and told i had tampered with a package. Lp claims they were following me that day and met with supervisor after i left for clinic to retrieve the salted package. Loss prevention claims they put a sealed package on the 5000 shelf and tape was cut and opened. I told them i didnt do it. And when i left the package car at 1220, right before that me and a supervisor went thru the truck and even he didnt see anything wrong. Well i got fired and the supervisor told LP that he did go over the truck but not every single package so he doesnt know. I told them to look at the telematics that i didnt have enough time to even go thru my whole load from when i left building til i got hurt and left for clinic. I only worked from the 1000 shelf and why didnt LP retrieve that pacakge when i was there with a supervisor and showed me the package. So anyways there are no witness, no dye packs and nothing on my hands. They say because i intended to steal it which i didnt and i didnt even see that package in my car,
i couldnt even get to that pacakge until my supervisor came and helped sort the load so we could walk thru the car. So anyways im fired and when to panel yesterday and it was deadlocked.
Any advice would be really appreiciated because ive worked too hard for this job and done aomety jobs to gy to driving to loose it for something i didnt do.
Thanks.
What happens when it goes to arbitration? And should i just start looking for another job?
