When sent an OCA in error. We are to accept it and then send a message that it was an errror. Center then sends again to cancel. In the past, we would override out of area. What is the reasoning behind new method? Was told cost. Any info??
The reasoning is your center team wants to hide its errors that are produced on a report when they incorrectly assign OCA. If they send you an OCA that is not yours its almost like a strike against them.
It all started when they recieved the technology to see which driver is in the area of the OCA. Apparently they have the technology to see where every driver is. The problem is, the dispacth employee gets it wrong more now than in the past when he knew where each OCA would go from memory and not what a computer told him where to assign it.
I have a huge problem with this. Chan suggested I call the 1-800 line. Its a dishonesty issue. As union employees we are to be given progressive discipline except for dishonesty or reckless driving.
Its my opinion that mangement is practicing dishonesty with its order to accept OCA that are not ours and then send a message to have it cancled.
When you think about it, it becomes sickening. Can you believe it? We have a center manger instructing 50 drivers to operate this way to hide his supervisor's mistakes.
When I make a mistake on the job I am held accountable for it. When management makes a mistake, they are suggesting I hide it?
What amazes me is that its such an easy thing to get right! Every driver knows which driver should get the OCA. Why can't management figure it out? Its their job for heavens sake.
