[QUOTE="TheFigurehead, post: 2907056, member: 49302"] If you are still within your first 90 days (or whatever your local rules stipulate), then yes, they [I]can[/I] fire you for anything, anytime... or rather, "let you go" because you "weren't a good fit." If you are already past that point, then generally speaking, [I]no[/I]... they can't just fire you (aside from for a few "cardinal sins"... i.e. theft, etc... none are performance related). You would have a hard time getting fired for most anything performance related once you are past your "probation" and a member of the union. You would have to be intentionally trying to sabotage the preload, for any write ups, etc... to stick. That doesn't mean they won't try (depending on the level of scumbaggery your particular management team has achieved, and how good or bad your reps and local union are). You [I]will[/I] likely be treated poorly by your sup, threatened, and harassed in an effort to get you to either quit, or do what they want you to do.
