[QUOTE="nice try tieguy, post: 295740"] When the person who calls UPS about your previous employment finally gets through, they will get some HR flunkie who never heard of you and most likely isn't in your home state. "We can only verify that such and such worked here from May 19xx to January 2008 in the position of Driver" Etc. (called them myself and posed as a potential employer) No tone, no nasty asides. No HR department with any sense would say anything more. Think about it: what would UPS care about where you go after you leave Big Brown? Would a little 'revenge' be worth the potential $$$$ lawsuit? Anyone could call and pose as a big name employer looking for a recommendation and record the conversation, then the lawyers would have a field day. Your supervisors and managers may have power to fire you under specific and difficult circumstances, but if you noticed they had nothing to do with your firing and can't control how you quit. Really they have no power at all. YOU control the workplace, YOU being yourself and your Union Brothers standing together. YOU control the operation's success. YOU can remove the management that torment you by activing collectively. YOU have them shaking in their boots when you show solidarity. Stand Up My Brothers! I say quit when you feel like it. Until there is a two week notice for firing you, there isn't a two week notice for quitting. Tell them at the end of your shift, tell them by phone, take the load out if you are pissed, walk off if you've had enough and let them know why. But if you really want to get to them, stay till the supervisor who pisses you off gets walked out after you tank his numbers every day. Many a cross was posted outside my building... [/QUOTE]
