[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1524332"] Talk to your steward, my brutha. Only way they'll keep you from driving once you've accrued enough seniority and there's an open spot is if you DQ yourself somewhere along the line. Don't give them a reason to give you a driving DQ and you'll be golden. Supe might be able to make it his/her personal mission to :censored: with you, but I doubt it. It's [B]POSSIBLE[/B], don't get me wrong... I just doubt it. My opinion is they're threatening something you consider valuable to try and squeeze a better preload performance out of you. Funny thing is, until they fire you from preload then they're just blowing hot air your way. Best bet would be to keep the union involved on what's going on with you just in case your management team does start walking all over the contract and skips over you some time in the future. Show up every day on-time, don't BS on the clock, put forth your best effort while not getting into fistfights with other loaders or stealing :censored: and you're pretty much untouchable. [EDIT: If you don't know who your stewards are in your hub, ask a driver that you're friendly with to point you in the direction of one. It's best not to ask management about union stewards because, in my experience, they tend to get the most submissive, yessir-whatever-you-say-sir kind of guys when you leave it up to them to bring a steward into the conversation.] [/QUOTE]
