[QUOTE="InsideUPS, post: 1092991, member: 31414"] I totally understand how you feel. For the most part, intimidation seems to be at an all time high at UPS which is why many hourly are afraid of filing grievances. I partially fault our Union for this. Everyone is concerned about being "targeted" and losing their job. In our building, no one wants or can afford a long and uncertain grievance process. Depending on how well your BA is "connected" at the State level, it really comes down to a 50/50 chance of getting your job back. There is no doubt in my mind that UPS has significantly increased the number of "disciplinary actions...up to and including discharge" letters in the past several years. Basically, we need to "beef up" our contract language in the area of "wrongful discharges". As for me.......I would simply hire a labor law attorney if my Union failed to protect my job and I was relatively certain I had a good case. Perhaps we could find one national labor law attorney who would love to take on all UPS wrongful discharge cases. Several major successful lawsuits would make UPS think twice before discharging employees on the premise of being guilty until proven innocent. [/QUOTE]
