[QUOTE="TheBrownNote, post: 5717084, member: 70462"] And we were basically talking about being terminated for occurrences of lates and call ins just because you didn't feel like coming to work, not because of a possible injury and FMLA. Yes, you can be terminated, even though there is no published attendance policy. [/QUOTE] This was my piont earlier, please provide me with the written UPS attendence policy, so that i may comply to the fullest of my capabilities. This policy, what article is it under? How can members comply if the policy is not avaiable in writing? Where is it stated progressive discipline up to and including termination can apply to this written policy? The contract rules EVERYTHING. And it is not written in the contract. Otherwise, what stops the company from just firing drivers for policies, not in writing? Oh wait, they cant. Once again, i actually think the company should be able to fire or discipline because of attendence. However, just like any other issue, it is incumbent upon UPS (or the teamsters) to include it in the contract, if they would like to apply discipline and have it stick. What is the general article that applies all writen policy not stated in the contract to the members? I can point to certain sections that say this policy applies, like the uniform policy, which is not explicitly written out. Cant find the attendence policy. TL;DR show up for your shift and then you dont have to worry about the attendence policy that is not outlined in the contract. Also the company should be able to discipline attendance issues.
