I also had loaders like her. Talking to her was a waste of effort and complaining to a sup was also wasted effort.

That’s Craptacular
If she won't listen to her drivers than she's effectively harming herself. We WAD...I have to listen to my center manager over a driver. However, if a driver isn't happy and it's related to me doing my job, I'd listen and if the problem is fixable then I would try to do so. But then again, that's me taking pride in my job. If I refused to listen, and you went to manangement, then so be it. We're all supposed be adults here.
I agree 100% but I would cover myself to keep from being the bad guy in the event she is given a warning or this lead to termination.
I tried talking to her, the steward tried talking to her, belt supe tried talking to her...
If she is terminated and she fights the Steward can say he tried talking to her before all this happened.

She'll get moved before discipline will ensue. If loaders were fired for poor load quality....we wouldn't have too many left...lol.

Those problem children get shuffled around but nothing serious ever gets done. The worst I knew of was a guy who had fried his brain on drugs and had serious memory issues. He got moved to unload but kept his job.

I don't condone his behavior in the least but at the same time I find it very troubling that you feel he should lose his job even though the contract clearly spells out the progressive discipline procedure that the company is required to follow.

I'm sure we all work around people that use poor judgment daily.

Word is, he was a seasonal.

That's what I heard too. Not a regular driver and non seniority so he is history now.

When I got hired on in 1975 they would fire you if it wasn't hand to surface.

Now that it's confirmed that the driver was not seasonal and had a union card why didn't BA fight for the members job. Why not file for arbitration? What happened to progressive discipline. Not steer member to resign.

I'm guessing by the video that the driver had had enough and was ready to leave and decided not to fight for his job. I witnessed a couple of cases like that.

My favorite method. Back into driveway. Roll out the back door. Driver release: Garage.
