[QUOTE="BrownShark, post: 355345, member: 12148"] [b]Re: Taken out of service for not knowing saftey dribble?[/b] Brett, the only thing you are required to do is show up on monday, tuesday, wednesday thursday and friday. If in fact any supervisor or manager wants to take you out of service, your 40 hour guarantee cannot be violated and you must be paid for your hours and kept in the building during your 8 hours. If anyone is dumb enough to keep a top rate driver inside looking at a computer monitor, then the company should look at the managers ability to maintain fiscal responsibility. Today, FEDEX posted a 4th quarter loss and its financial future is weak according to Fred S. Fred S promises further cuts in expenses and curtainling of "operating costs". UPS will follow suit shortly, and cutting "operating costs" will be the order of the day. The company and the Union have no agreement on the suspension of any employees guaranteed hours for safety reasons. They can however keep you inside and give you something to do to fill your 8 hours. This would not be smart management. Unless the company can demonstrate an agreement with the Teamsters that allows them to suspend your hourly guarantees, they have no case. There is also NO agreement with the Teamsters for any employee to learn, remember or recite ANY safety related outline word for word or otherwise. This is simply overstepping of authority.
