I was TERMINATED last night (Tue) for walking across a stopped belt after the shift was over (the HUB mgr. said "How do you know it was secured?") to wash my hands! (they always told us to never walk on a moving belt, and I NEVER have). The union is fighting hard for me, but a safety violation like that unknown to me is known as a "CARDINAL SIN", like dishonesty, etc. If they deadlock at my termination hearing, I will meet with the State Panel for arbitration on 6/23/09. If I don't get my GREAT job back, I'm almost certain that I can get about $550 per month in my pension after 11 & 1/2 years of service, since it is vested. I'm also going to try to file for unemployment...
BTW: I have a GREAT attendance record, as I have never been a no call/no show, and have only called in twice about 10 years ago when my car wouldn't start. I just been late a few times from heavy rain when the traffic on my 27 mile drive on I-75 slows down to a crawl...
I am so upset, ashamed, and embarrassed... Please pray for me.
