[QUOTE="Enjoi0523, post: 4024575, member: 61347"] Today I was Article 52'd by my Center Manager for not reporting an accident. It supposedly happened on Tuesday. On Tuesday it was raining and I was in a P1000 and went to make a U-Turn at an intersection. After clearing the intersection and deeming it safe, I proceeded to make the U-Turn. At the end of the turn I felt the rear tire (passenger side) hop the curb. I didn't think it went into the grass but apparently (photos) showed that I did. It was not to my knowledge that I went into the grass but he said that because I didn't report the incident, it was an integrity issue. I told him that any time I thought there was a potential for something being considered an "accident" I always called it in. I had a road sign tap my mirror while parked (very windy day) in the past and called it in. I had someone two seasons ago slide a ladder off their van into my truck and called it in. He didn't care and feels that I did this intentionally. I have been a safe driver my entire UPS career without any accidents or injuries and even just received a safe driving award not too long ago. Last month they tried to fire me for "Job Abandonment" because I finished my route early and never went out to go help someone. That got tossed. The month before that they coded me as terminated to payroll and I had to wait three weeks before I got paid. I feel like they have been trying to constantly harass and fire me for anything and everything. What do I need to do to prepare for this? I've already filed a grievance and called my B.A. but haven't heard anything back from him yet. [/QUOTE]
