[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1142596, member: 14668"] Article 37 NMUPSA prohibits "coercion, harassment or over-supervision." Management forcing an employee to choose between two conflicting instructions (ORION compliance vs. avoiding service failures)...and then threatening to discipline him [I]no matter which[/I] instruction he follows...is the most clear-cut example of coercion and harassment that I can imagine. Anybody who gets threatened for failing to generate whatever random ORION compliance metric that their supervisor might have pulled out of his ass that day needs to step up and file an Art 37 grievance. That is what I plan on doing when I go live on ORION in a few weeks. If they want a driver who makes smart decisions they can have that; if they want a mindless drone who blindly follows ORION 100% regardless of the service failures that might result, they can have that too. [B]But they cant have both[/B]. I have neither the time nor the desire to make an already challenging job even harder on myself by trying to make service on deliveries and pickups while at the same time trying to calculate whether or not I am generating whatever compliance percentage they happen to be chasing. I am a [I]driver[/I]; if I wanted to manipulate irrelevant metrics or pleasure myself all over some stupid report in a cubicle someplace, I would be in I.E. instead. [/QUOTE]
