[QUOTE="Meat, post: 4930085, member: 61324"] I was suspended with pay for one day, and was wondering if I should bother challenging it. During the AM sort, I generally let people use my IPod and Bluetooth speakers to play music as long as I am present, and can monitor the setlist. Everyone knows if I’m not physically present during the sort it’s not cool to use my property. On this particular day, I was sorting doc’s, and a CR had given me a trace on an ISR envelope, so I took the document to the CSA after I applied the SIP scan. When I left, I paused the IPod, and explicitly stated it should not be played until I returned. I was in the office much longer than anticipated, as the CSA refused to call the customer that initiated the trace on the envelope (total joke, but not germane to the incident). Because I was gone for an extended period, a handler became impatient and started playing my music again. Unfortunately, one of the songs played was David Allen Coe’s “If That Ain’t Country, I’ll Kiss Your Ass”, which contains a racial slur. Some of the black folk at my station complained (I don’t blame them), and the senior sent me home for the rest of the day. I was later informed it would be a one day paid suspension, since my property was used to transmit the slur. Personally, I think it’s total BS since numerous people on the sort heard me say not to use my property unless I was present. Is it worth fighting? [/QUOTE]
