[QUOTE="browned out, post: 1842643, member: 8105"] For the rest of his UPS career; if your husband needs to report anything he could possibly lose his job over or receive any discipline; there are ways to protect himself. Send a Diad message and/or call as directed by management. More importantly; Punch out and send a text from his personal cell phone to a supervisor or managers cell phone stating what the problem or issue is. Then there will be tangible solid proof of notification of management. UPS destroys DIAD messages when it suits them. UPS has lied in the past and stated the the records..NO LONGER EXIST. A phone call does not give proof of what actually was said. I would not recommend taking a picture of the DIAD message because the use of recording devices and cameras are prohibited by UPS policy. If management directs him to do something against the prescribed methods and procedures; send a text to management and a steward or local union rep describing what he was directed to do. Management has directed drivers to sheet misloaded businesses as CLOSED instead of Missed. Drivers are 10 miles away from the stop and directed to sheet it as closed. Who knows, maybe someone stayed late at that business waiting for the package. The customer tracks it.. and finds out the driver stated they were closed even though the customer was indeed there and waiting for the parcel. UPS management will disavow any knowledge of directing the driver to falsify records. The driver will be discharged for dishonesty. The only way to truly preserve any record of communication with UPS mgmt. is a text from his personal phone. Do the job using prescribed methods and procedures. Do not for a second think UPS management will do the same. [/QUOTE]
