[QUOTE="soberups, post: 852739, member: 14668"] 1. They are going to "observe" you whether you show up on a report or not 2. "Excessive" idle time is an entirely [I]subjective[/I] measurement, and it is [I]not[/I] grounds for any sort of disciplinary action per the labor agreement. 3. "Excessive" backing is [I]also[/I] an entirely subjective measurement, and is [I]also[/I] not grounds for any sort of disciplinary action per the labor agreement. 4. We are trained to buckle the belt, turn the key and drive away in one smooth motion. Having the car move an inch or two before the belt is buckled might trigger a report, but (a) it is not grounds for any sort of disciplinary action per the labor agreement and (b) the odds of a supervisor being parked at the right place and time to [I]observe[/I] such action with a telephoto lens are so minute as to be a practical impossibility. 5. We open the BH door hundreds of times per day. It is a [I]statistical certainty[/I] that at some point it will fail to latch, thereby triggering a report. Said report is not grounds for disciplinary action per the labor agreement, and the odds of a supervisor being parked at the right place and time to observe such an incident are also so remote as to be a practical impossibility. [B]We need to follow the methods[/B] as far as wearing the seatbelt, closing the BH door, and making every reasonable effort to keep backing and idle time to a minimum. What we [B]dont[/B] need to do....is to meet arbitrary and subjective "quotas" for backing and idling, or to fear disciplinary action for [I]minor, irrelevant and occasional failure[/I] to follow those methods 100% of the time.
