[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 827155, member: 12570"] Truthfully? No. One of the terminations was for a driver who was caught (off-duty) with marijuana in his vehicle. The other was for a driver who was involved in a serious backing accident and was observed not wearing his seat belt on two separate occasions less than a week after the accident. To be fair, the second driver is now one of our better drivers, while the first would be better served working the McDonald's drive-thru. There is a time and place for the union. For example, we had a driver who had three Tier 3 accidents and 12 injuries in her 12 year career. She had become a liability. The union and UPS worked together to create a FT Art 22.3 position for her inside the hub. She kept her job and a cover driver got a bid run. She did lose about $9/hr in the process. I would not want the fragile existence of an at-will employee but also feel that having the union in their back pocket gives some employees a false sense of security. Unions also promote mediocrity.
