[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 878746, member: 17969"] Hulka, I agree with you to a point. But its the drivers job to make an assessment of the day before he leaves the hub, notifies the center management team that there is a possibility of service failures and would lile directions given to reflect this notification and then do the job. At that point, the err's would be on the dispatch and not the driver. If a driver knows he has too much Air, and cannot make service, and leaves the building without notifying anyone, and then service fails pkgs, then THAT driver is holding the bag and subject to discipline. We can NEVER be disciplined for following a directive. In this case, there was no directive, there was a collaboration between a sup and a driver to "CHEAT" the system and they were both complicit in the action. This driver furthers his problems by falsifying his timecard and then signing a statement to that end. He furthers the damage by refusing union representation and trying to take care of the problem himself. These factors dont make him innocent. While I believe a simple explanation by the union could get him his job back, I believe that a bigger lesson needs to be learned by this driver and anyone who acts in the manner he does. We are not here to contract with the company privately. We are here to honor the contract that affects us all. There is no room for CHEATS or people who will work for free regardless of the explanation. Anyone who works for free deserves to be placed on the street. I have no tolerance for these people. We are suppose to be paid for our time, and there is no reason for an employee to volunteer time off the clock while his timecard is altered to reflect a dishonest act. Period. Peace. [/QUOTE]
