[QUOTE="705red, post: 461206, member: 5229"] This steward was fired for production, something that has never happened before in our history. I have researched other arbitration's on this and every other production arbitration has been sided with the union. So how can this one take such a drastic turn around? Could it be because he was a caring steward who stood up for the contract and the members which elected him? Did the company dislike him for filing 115 grievances? For calling the nlrb? This company even suspended him while he was acting as a steward defending a member. Which is illegal, were was the union to represent him on these charges? A new manager was sent to raise production, than why was this steward the only one giving a 3 day ride? Form a sup from the outside? Why did this sup ride the same route with a cover driver before hand? It is a setup, its obvious the company did not like him and wanted him gone. In the arbitration, the union never rebutted several accusations from ups, which in reality means they either agree with ups or did not properly defend him. These screw ups even i know not to do as a steward, but an agent and attorney with years of experience didn't? Ups can now terminate any package car driver for production, and at the end of the case ups will give this arbitration win to the sitting arbitrator and explain this is how your fellow arbitrator rules on a similar case. This case will bear weight on all and every future production arbitration's. The ibt should step in and go through every recourse with this grievant, for the simple fact that this is to important of a case to go unchallenged! [/QUOTE]
