[QUOTE="Nevermore1, post: 1826890, member: 54102"] I didn't get to read the entire thread. Something similar happened to my husband a few years ago. He was out for about 3 months. He was denied at the initial hearing and told he needed to go to the regional hearing 3 months later (and a 15 hour drive away). The union rep kept working his case and meeting with management and finally had luck when the manager agreed to hire back a bunch of other drivers he had fired for much more serious offenses and he put the manager on the spot and asked why he would hire back guys who had multiple preventable accidents and worse but they wouldn't take back my husband who had a clean work record except for logging a stop wrong. Luckily that meeting happened about a week before the regional one so we didn't have to attend the regional one. I hope your husband gets his job back soon. If he does have him check with the union on the insurance. Ours was kept active for the 3 months my husband was fired and they charged the dues for those 3 months to his first or second check when he started back (it may be different in your local though).
