they tried that at our hub a couple years ago and it didn't work because most of the drivers ( which is a union ) stood up to them.

I'm pretty sure it is flat out against the law to write someone up for calling in sick...as long as it isn't an everyday thing...California specifically has a law that you can call in sick to take care of your child with absolutely zero repercussions...I wish I could say I was shocked when my BA agreed with the district manager but the make deals all the time.

When you said union rep, I was thinking it was Stuart.
If this was a BA from the local, you and others who do no like this new "rule" notify union hq.
I would also ask to be shown in the contract where Management is permitted to do this.

In our New England supplement, Article 60 Section 9
Section 9 - Disciplinary Action
The benefit of pay given to an employee for sick days does not excuse absence from work, however, bona-fide use of paid sick days will not automatically count towards disciplinary action. Each employee's record will be reviewed individually
I can understand calling out with dead days but sick days and vacations are bargained by our union AND MUST BE PROTECTED

They have a funny tactic here when you try to call them out on anything at the PCM. "We'll speak on the side afterwards" must be one of the first things they learn at Sup boot camp

They do the same here.
On topic---if you have days available they cannot prevent you from using them.

But can you prevent them from disciplining you ?
Sounds like the union is letting them.
Just another war on workers from my point of view.

geesh. I had 45 sick days built up . The last year I worked I called out almost every monday and tuesday . 3 day work weeks for several months. they never said anything .
most short timers did the same thing.
the company is just trying to bully you guys and it looks like it is working.

Huh?
Your steward? Or BA? A business agent should not agree to this.

we had a guy who came in sick for feeder and they told him he had to work anyway since they had absolutely no one else to cover his run.
probably true but the driver was really ill.
so he took the truck out and drove down the road a couple hours, pulled over and called dispatch and told them he was too ill to safely operate a commercial vehicle.
they had to send an OR out there to finish his 10 hour run.
so guess what happened the next time this driver called in sick?
OSHA and the DOT would be real happy to hear what UPS is trying to pull with you guys.

Here you can save up to 60 days of sick time. I believe she was out west like me.
Not that she is telling the truth though either.
