To make a long and boring story short... in peak of 2011 I received a working termination for "un professional behavior" because a customer called in a complaint that my helper and I were 'fighting' in her front yard when actually we were just goofing off(it was Christmas Eve and we had a long day), my helper and I had no problems, never was disciplined before for customer concerns, but it got shot down at local panel, went to regional panel and got deadlocked... went to arbitration and only missed 3 days of work(while at regional panel).
Covered a guys route last week, 1st time I was on that route in almost 3 years so I was running a little behind, tried to deliver their airs and grounds together(orion) and was held up by the receiver stating "they couldnt sign for 'this' box" and had to call a manager... took 4mins for manager to show up and I told the manager that their receiver refused to sign for the pack and Im going to have late airs because of the hold up....the manager called in stating I was rude and my center manager issued me a WT for the incident.
Heres the kicker...I was never disciplined for the last WT other than a warning letter, it all got dropped...my center manager states that since I was on workman's comp for 9 months sep2012-mar2013, and Im a TDU(i dont drive everyday) that I am still in the 9 month window for discipline. My LAST concern was from dec24th 2011, thats 18 months ago, but didnt get dropped and settled till like april2012. I get harassed daily on the regular anyways... I called my BA and tried to inform them(my stewards are clueless) but got the "Ill get with you later, we are at a regional panel now". Im the black sheep of my center... I have a shave waiver, I was on workmans comp for an injury mgmt thoughtI was faking, I know 22 routes so Im constantly getting bumped around, Ive filed a half dozen harassment grievances and now my involvement with Vote No is getting a bigger target on my back. Will the WT get thrown out at local via "out of the 9 month window". My center manager seems to believe its 9 working months(180 working days) since dec2011 Ive only DRIVEN 165 days and worked in the hub like 40 days.
