Teamsters irate after 10 UPS workers in Queens are abruptly fired for refusing overtime - AMNY

A labor dispute has erupted at a UPS facility in Queens after 10 part-time employees were unceremoniously canned while trying to get to second jobs and/or due to responsibilities at home, something, the corporation said, created some kinks in the system.

Vinny Perrone, president of Teamsters Local 804, told amNewYork Metro that arbitration is in works especially if the 10 workers – two of whom are pregnant – are not reinstated with backpay to make up for the hours lost since April 13.

According to UPS, terminations were made when employees left the facility at 136-40 Springfield Blvd. without first running it by managers despite their shifts ending.

Vinny ? Is this a movie or what ?

We can't keep part-time help as it is...

@Big Arrow Down...D are you starting trouble up there telling PTers they can just leave work?

What did 10 supervisors decide they did not want to work that day?

Honestly the company higher ups just need to cut their losses now and pay up before it hits panel. Hell the managers responsible probably need to kick the can. This is a landmark panel case that they simply won't win.

The old apple watches have camera just video the facility secretly and send to the media anonymously or use a supervisor name

Hate to side with management but it's pretty basic that if you have to leave you need to alert management. If that's the entire story . I'm pretty sure there is more to it than that .
