Did anyone help you load?
Were you told to get off the clock and let your driver wrap up?
Were you given any Add/Cuts/Splits?
Were you there until the package car pulled away from the dock?
Was it a bad slap (Pal label)
Damaged/Crushed packages are considered by some as Misloads
In our building we can have 60% of the package cars out the door and missed packages going down the belts... A supe will sometimes toss it into a truck IF they THINK that driver is near that route.
Did you have a meeting with your Supervisor and a
Union Steward present? IF the steward was not there - the meeting NEVER TOOK PLACE and you DO NOT RECALL ANY DISCUSSION about misloads...
Were you given a letter? If so you have ten days to grieve...
Since you are used to charts and I guess you are now using PAS/PAL the my question is how much training have you had? You may need additional training... ABOUT FOUR DAYS TRAINING WITH A SUPERVISOR SHOWING YOU PROPER METHODS... DAY ONE the supervisor handles all packages and YOU OBSERVE... DAY TWO you handle packages and the supervisor observes... DAY THREE the supervisor handles packages until break then you take over... DAY FOUR You handle all packages....
NO TERMINATION or SUSPENSION, should be dropped to a warning letter... DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING, let your Union Steward sign
