[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 461968, member: 484"] Red Im sure he is in good hands:wink2: What that statement tells me is that the sup is asking for input. You have a set of principles that dont waver, a honesty without question, and a dedication second to no man. As such, I can see why he would value your opinion. In some cases I have seen this type of relationship yield some interesting results. Like when after a discipline hearing on a driver the sup comes up to you and says "you know I have to do something serious about this situation, any suggestions?" There are at least a dozen drivers just in our center that have a job today because of management reaching out to either the BA or the steward for a way out. That type of reaching out by management happens a lot more than people think. Believe it or not, with rare exception, UPS does not want to fire an employee. They, like everyone else, want what is legally and morally theirs. A driver once said, "I'll give anyone the shirt off my back if they need it, but I will fight you to the death if you try to take it from me." d [/QUOTE]
