[QUOTE="BrownSuit, post: 463752, member: 14437"] Thanks for the response, it was quite thought provoking. It wasn't a protection that I was concerned with, it was the language that they stated they could use as a Steward, but have admitted (based on the not on UPS time argument) that they would not use as a driver because of the title. The Steward is protected from discipline resulting from Union related business or actions (such as grievances) taken on behalf of the Union. I personally feel and believe that the Executive Committee of the Brotherhood would agree with me that this protection does not extend to abusive language, regardless of the situation. I have to be completely up front and honest, I have not read the report and am solely going off what others are saying/reporting. One of the areas that was brought up as a cause for termination in earlier posts was insubordination and abusive language. Not sure how much this was pressed as there was a lot of focus on production. [/QUOTE]
