[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1294422, member: 32753"] Why was the original driver fired? The last reason given in this thread was he was punching in in the morning but not actually doing thing. That's dishonesty with the intent to defraud the company, and is a cardinal offense, i.e. no provision for a grievance procedure. Thus, it would be a tragic cause of the termination of the Maspeth 250. OTOH, sheeting a package while not at a stop, while dishonest, is not done with the intention of defrauding the company (the actual words used in the master). Hence, no driver should ever be terminated for doing so based on a charge of dishonesty. That would fall under "failure to follow methods and procedures, and not being a cardinal offense, must go through the process. That seems so simple. Any driver "terminated" for dishonesty that doesn't involve defrauding the company should not only get their job back, but be given back pay as well. If they don't have any discipline in the last 9 months it should be reduced to at most a warning letter, if not "a meeting with the manager and the Steward"! [/QUOTE]
