[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1534267, member: 28388"] LP tried to get me to pay once when I was a newish driver for some stuff that got rained on. The steward in with me told them we'd have to talk to our BA. They never bothered me again about it. Had they pushed the issue I would have stopped releasing. Per an attorney on my route an employer can't force you to pay for something that was stolen by someone else as many courts have ruled it's a cost of doing business if a carrier chooses to have the practice of delivering without a signature. The only issue is that sometimes a labor contact can supersede certain legal precedents and laws. I haven't looked at the language in the contract in quite a while but I remember that it says it has to be over $100 and that an employee can't be both disciplined (suspension, etc) and be forced to pay. So I don't think it specifically says "a driver shall reimburse..." so it would be interesting if it went to court. [/QUOTE]
