[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1531098, member: 43119"] Unless someone at a higher level is pressuring local management to follow through with progressive discipline for misloads, all you'll ever get are "verbal warnings". I've only been at UPS a few years, but the only time I've seen anyone get suspended for misloads was about a year ago when it was the flavor of the month. If it ever gets to that point for you, talk to your steward. The burden is on UPS to prove that nobody but you entered any of your trucks between the time you arrived until the driver left the building. So, unless they have cameras, which they don't, they can't prove anything. If your union local is strong enough, no discipline for misloads should ever stick. It's on you to fight it, though. If you do get suspended or terminated down the line, it's too late to say "you can't prove any of those previous misloads" if you haven't grieved any of their previous disciplinary actions. That being said, a conversion over the phone does not constitute a verbal warning. Unless your supervisor and steward meet with you in the coming days, there was no verbal or written warning.
