Earlier in the week our area was being audited for the BS safety regulations for load stands and the scanner belts. In all the time I have been there I have never wore this ridiculous belt, nor was I ever told to do so. The auditor informed my sup and he came in a made me put it on and I complied, and was told my name is now on some kind of list.
Last night the auditor came around again and I was not wearing the belt and neither was the person loading besides me. Auditor came up to the trailer and gave me , said I was going to be disciplined, and the sup told my they can fire me for not wearing it. They didn't even pay attention to the person next to me and said nothing to him. I am way past my 30 days, I asked 2 other sups from different areas. One said they cannot do a thing if I choose not to wear a belt the other didn't really know and said that is a union thing. Also asked a long time employee and said they can't do anything.
My question is, can they enforce this rule of wearing a scanner belt, and can I get disciplined and/or fired for not wearing it.
