[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1232592, member: 42270"] If you have a card, then you [B]should[/B] be a union member and have attained seniority. Did you pay your initiation fee and are dues being taken out of your pay check? Typically, the initiation fee (varies by local) is taken out in installments and union dues are taken out weekly. You should call your union hall and find out if you're a member in good standing. If you're a member with seniority, then your preload manager [B]absolutely cannot[/B] send you home as a form of discipline. I don't give a :censored: if you have 50 missorts a day and the package car driver you load for spends four hours a day shuttling packages to other routes, the company has to follow progressive discipline for a non-cardinal sin (ie. stealing, drinking during your shift)/non-just cause (ie. taking a :censored: on your manager's desk, punching out your supervisor) which for methods (misloads) means: "training" with or without a "training write-up", a formal disciplinary write-up, a warning letter, and then a warning letter with a suspension. This exact process varies by center and infraction, but you get the idea. You need to be calling the union hall and getting in touch with a shop steward so you can demand your daily 3.5 hour guarantee. If all of this has happened within a week (5 working days) you should be filing a grievance for all days "sent home" multiplied by your 3.5 hour guarantee minus actual time worked. They'll get the message. [/QUOTE]
