[QUOTE="Orion inc., post: 1897172, member: 58808"] I'm curious and I mean no disrespect when I ask this, but after a 20 plus year career here, how are you not aware of the discipline procedures and such of how things are handled by both the union and the company in regards to things like this? I wouldn't blindly just let the union take care of it. You need to be so involved in the oversight of this process and watch both sides. If you want it to end the right way it should be. I hope you are documenting and collecting evidence on your own as well. You have more of an investment in this fight than both the union or ups. It's easy to act on emotion and make decisions while being emotionally charged up. But I promise you, decisions solely on emotion never work in the person's favor. Don't let the situation that happened control you. Don't let the way ups handled it and the emotional damage it did control you. You control how this will be handled by being grounded, firm and take all the emotion out of it. Investigate, collect evidence and present it on your terms. The union will fight for you but you have to be the biggest one fighting for you. Otherwise they know your weakness is emotional reactions and they will use that against you. Make them prove without a doubt that was an accident you did. Facts facts facts. Leave the emotions at home and deal with that on your own terms. Don't let them see you upset or crying over this. Otherwise they will win. [/QUOTE]
