Harassment

[Forget UPS]

I love UPS and anyone that supports them

 

[burrheadd]

my wife works for UPS and has been there for 17 years. They recently got a new Center Manager who has single handily turned over the entire local sort except for 3 people. Anyone that has/had more than 7 years experience has been harassed into quitting and finding other jobs. My wife has documented conversations, witness statements, and countless notes in her book of when she was harassed and who she reported it to. Her union steward claims that the center manager is not harassing her, but we feel he is in fear of retaliation.

Our question is, where do we go from here? She's told the center manager, she's told her union steward, and she has contacted HR. Neither of which has moved on it.

Tonight she is receiving a warning letter for 5 absences or lates in a 6 month period. Meanwhile, another team member got his attendance printed off and has 17 absences or lates in 3 months and never has been spoken to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

She is from the Jackson, Michigan center 4920. Manager's name is Ray.

I know this sounds crazy
But, maybe she should try getting to work on time

You need to delete that last paragraph. You don't want anyone figuring out who she is.

FINALLY! A husband asking questions for his UPS wife! It does exist!

Doesn't matter. She feels like a target anyways.

5 absences in 6 months is not bad attendance.

Another Snowflake

SMH!!!


Carry on

5 absences in 6 months is not bad attendance.

This line of thinking is probably at the root of most mistaken persecution complexes.

 

[Peppermint Patty]

It is enough absences to call attention to yourself. Managers come and go. Get to work on time, do your job and ride it out. The next manager will be there shortly.

5 absences in 6 months is not bad attendance.

It certainly isn't good.

 

[Forget UPS]

So we're going to focus on attendance and not the harassment?

Brown brotherhood strong!

 

[FrigidFTSup]

Is she feeling harassed because he's threatening her job because she can't get to work?

Sounds to me things got a little lax and the manager is taking care of business.

And how many times late to work??

How about you have her call the BA and see what he thinks? But I'm thinking she is pissed because she actually has to show up for work

I don't know why I bother.

Thanks for the help

You just aren't getting the answers you want.

How's this?

Your wife is a perfect snowflake. The company has no right to enforce attendance policy, only to process and deliver packages.

Better?

Not if locals have to spend limited time and resources defending members from themselves. Takes away from the legit cases.

If the attendance policy is 6 absences in 6 months why is she being written up for 5?

Why is the center manager tell drivers he "is going to make an example of her?"

Why is the supervisor telling her she can't drink water while working but the other team members get to eat full lunches while they work?

Why is she late all the time? She better be making you a sammich, or giving you a quickie. Other than that, you better straightened her out!

It isn't 6 absences in 6 months. Sounds like your wife is feeding you some lines.

Bologna he's telling them that. If a manager is going to make an example of someone he doesn't go screaming about it. You just do it.

Again, I'm calling BS. It sounds to me she just doesn't like the guy, and the fact that she has extra scrutiny for the first time in her time here is a major buzz kill. Especially because it means she now has to show up for work until the warning letter clears from her record.

I thought wives were supposed to be the my poor baby people, not the husbands.
