[QUOTE="The Range, post: 3844239, member: 51803"] Correct in your observations. Prior to the move within the same classification, this employee was jerked around and in the midst of an ugly battle for many months. I was slightly shocked at how bold management was in this particular case. A perfect example of how one person filing alone causes UPS to go gangbusters to intimidate and stomp it out. This ended with multiple article 37 grievances being filed. Eventually, they were returned to their original classification but swiftly removed from the area when they continued to file grievances on working supervisors. They cleared out a very small sort isle across the building, took this employee and plopped them there to nullify grievances. I do not like the message this sends to the other employees. However, the message has already been sent. To me, article 37 and the additional "work assignment" language was included to help protect against this sort of action. This employee has a permanent target on their back. I would like to see them back in their original area and making money for their troubles. It isn't right. You have upwards of fifty other people in the original area scared stiff as it's simply easier to toe the company line. Maybe this is a reflection on our local, the other stewards, and myself.
