Those in central states please respond - warning letter for calling in sick 2 days in a row...

Your best bet is to call the hall and get the best information that you can. Which you did so that was the right step.

Thanks. Will follow up Monday...hopefully with clarification.

He is just blowing smoke
Don't worry about it.

I hope so, just don't want to lose this job, so it's not that easy for me not to worry...but I hope you're right.

Some sups will say anything to shake you up. Nothing came out of it no biggie. As far as you are concerned, you never got a verbal warning. No steward was there to witness or defend it.

I always thought it was 6 in 9 months was base Central Region, and supplement/riders only made it better.

you should have puked on the belt.

man up,grow a pair and file for harassment. also start filing every supervisor working grievance you can.
As a part time employee if you show up,on time and dont steal you pretty much have a job for life. Dont worry about "repercussions".

I didn't puke on the belt, but I did cough in the sort managers face...not on purpose, but hey, I was sick.

I was under the impression it was six in six month period

My guess they must of had a lot of call offs and he was the newest so they gave him grief about it. Usually if your a good working and come to work all the time it is the ones they harass.

Your rider makes it better, was talking general Central.

Get used to it if you plan on staying at ups for a long time.

So, they essentially harass the dependable employees, and let the repeat offenders slide. **face palm**

Well, I do plan on staying for awhile. Thanks for the heads up.

I am in Central States also. You could have avoided all the issues by going to a quick clinic and getting a doctor's note excusing you from work. In my building, it is common knowledge (not sure that it is in the contract) that any more than 2 days in a row and a doctor's note is required and another note is needed releasing you back to work.

It is 3 days here.

I believe, as far as I remember, that it is in the contract. I guess when I called in on day two and was called back I made up my mind then that I was going to work the next day regardless how sick I felt. But, if this ever happens again...doctor's note it is. Thanks.

This is how young employees turn into grievance-throwing men 20 years later.
You should thank him in helping you grow that backbone sooner and becoming a Teamster.
