[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1848827, member: 8481"] Not necessarily. When UPS terminates employees for issues such as this, they know that they have no liability. UPS knows that there is no chance of backpay, so they can keep him off as long as they care to. UPS is going to make a point that they take safety very serious. He will get at least a week off with no backpay. I know it has been more than a week, but a discharge needs to be heard within 5 days. While I said that UPS takes safety seriously, we all know that they really don't care. But they need to fool OSHA into believing to keep them off their backs. And this is what they will do with this guy. If OSHA investigates this, do you know how big the fine will be? UPS's defense would be that they fired the guy. He does have an "out" though. UPS witnessed this "serious" safety violation but did not take him out of service immediately. Here is where a good Steward or BA should get him back with full back pay. [/QUOTE]
