its simple, own up to your mistakes.
He couldnt even talk with the new driver about it. Selfish and Shady for puting the new guy trying to qualify in a position like that.
The golden rule doesnt apply in our culture anymore

Judge me.
It's not gay when it's in a three way?
". He would also have to explain to my face why he thought he could just drive away and leave me with the problem.

I write it up and get a new window. No one cares. The last thing I would be is a rat. The bright side of all this is you can see again without all that hard water buildup from the car wash.
Don't know where some of you work but around here not reporting an accident regardless of the damage will get you fired. The other driver has put both of them in a bad spot by not doing the right thing and reporting the incident to a supervisor. Both of them could be fired for not reporting it as both were technically involved, don't begin your career at UPS by putting a question mark regarding your integrity. Save the don't throw a fellow teamster under the bus bs for something that won't get you terminated.

Or you could be a rat like someone from Upper NY

You can't say a dang in word here. More teamsters like you, we wouldn't have a union
Kind of like throwing my dead pet into a dumpster?
That's integrity??
Please tell us some more.

I am being serious.
Oh God, don't summon it back!
I hate how these threads always end up as a debate between two extremes. In most cases, you shouldn't be a rat under any circumstances. In this case, he could be fired for dishonesty because of what someone else did (and ultimately, didn't or wouldn't do). This is that gray area IVE was talking about. Yes, it does exist, Upstate.
In that position, I would've talked to the other driver and asked him if he was going to report it, explaining the difficult position it puts me in if he doesn't: the choice between possible termination for which the union may not be able to get my job back, or being a rat. Offer to go in as a witness if he wants one so they can't claim it wasn't reported later on.
If he doesn't want to come clean under any circumstances, then and only then, report the incident.

I WILL NEVER KNOWINGLY HARM A FELLOW MEMBER.
This statement is more true for the Teamster that backed into and caused the accident, than the Teamster who reported the accident. I'm not losing my wife and kids medical benefits or my pension because this maroon couldn't drive. Sorry.
