[QUOTE="Richard Harrow, post: 967890, member: 29614"] Absolutely correct. This company likes to have the luxury of being able to get rid of people as quick as they can. If they have stacks and stacks of forms with your signature at the bottom and find you in violation of something, it makes it all the easier for them. All it takes is one incident to set the wheels of progressive discipline in motion. I typically find that management types will apply the most pressure to the newer drivers (those with less than 2 or 3 years on road) because they are usually the ones who are least aware of their rights under collective bargaining. I've explained to many of them (new drivers, that is) that after I am asked to sign something, I politely decline. [B]Anything that you sign that is not the DVIR or your paycheck will essentially be held as a contract between you and the company.[/B] After declining to sign, the management type will usually then politely ask me to print "refused to sign" at the bottom, which I will always do. I also tell the new driver that any deviation from this process on the management type's part immediately warrants the presence of a shop steward. Bottom line: know your rights people. [/QUOTE]
