[QUOTE="Signature Only, post: 3584578, member: 21043"] We had a driver, a very senior employee who always wanted to go into management but was never accepted. He crossed the picket line during the 97 strike but was refused work by management. At one of our union meetings during that time he tried to defend his actions and get more drivers to cross. So 10 months later and we're all back on the road... management terminated him for stealing time. He was put out on the street and it was the union, who after investigating, got his job back. He was doing some shady things and probably deserved to be fired but the union's principle officer did a very through investigation and produced evidence at panel that management had ongoing and prior knowledge of his activity for at least 5 years but did nothing. After all this guy's anti-union crap they, the union, could have left him hanging but they pulled out every stop to save his job. I don't care what the company tells you....if you don't stand firmly with the union eventually management will turn on you. [/QUOTE]
