[QUOTE="JDAM00, post: 1155198, member: 44120"] I appreciate everyone's input. I'll try to reply to everyone's questions or statements. 1) when I received my warning letter, I had a new employee with only 16 days seniority loading my truck ( helping) for over an hour. He admitted to getting 10 miss loads one day the week before. When I brought this to managements attention, he got a warning letter, and so did I. So blaming it on drivers, who do help load the Trucks at the end of my shift won't fly. I will be writing a rebuttal to the letter stating that incase I end up in arbitration. It was very strange how it all went down, Tuesday the rule was more than 1 miss load was a letter, then Wednesday it was just one, then Friday 4 loaders received article 7's. 3) I do understand that miss loads cost ups money, and think setting up a consequence for problems with miss loads makes sense. I do think never getting one may be impossible. There was a strange arrangement made a few months ago. The two driver supervisors would drive around, pick up miss loads and deliver them. Our union steward had an arrangement that they wouldn't greave that, if they didn't give warning letters to loaders. I guess things have changed from that. I do know now that drivers are grieving them now. Today did show a little promise. Our supervisor gave a pass to anyone who had a miss load today. I ultimately think it was an attempt to get the miss loads in the building under control and there will be a balance the next few weeks. [/QUOTE]
