Good Morning Upsers,
Here is my issue. i took a position scanning and loading a tralier by myself in my hub. I was lied to and told the volume of packages was less than what it was. I was told the job was easy and it was a stepping stone towards moving forward in the company. I am the youngest and smallest employee in my hub. I want to move forward at Ups so i accepted. I was given a paper, scanner and told to jump right in. No test. 2 1/2 hours to scan and load 1,200 packages on average.
I took my time checking each package but then my supervisor began complaining about me getting backed up. I tried to do it faster and i've gotten misloads. I was given a warning letter last week. One more misload and im suspended, 2 more and im fired. Im at the university of miami, in 40,000 $ debt and i really need my job. I do not feel i should be punished because i do not know the codes and was never tested to see if i was capiable of doing the position. I signed the warning letter out of pressure from a guy who's position is so high, i had never seen him before.
Can i file a grievence on the bases of punishment without ever being certified? obviously, the shop stewards here are to close to managment to even care. Can i get out of the position?
Thanks for your help everyone.
