[QUOTE="Fredless, post: 289774, member: 5197"] write a letter of protest. if you grieve it, it will get reduced to a protest letter anyway. The company doesn't have to give verbal or written talk withs first. They can go to a warning letter right off the bat if they want, even for 1 misload. The only way I'd grieve that warning letter is under 37 for harassment. Talk to your steward and see if he (center manager) has 37's out on him already. I'd STILL rather you write a letter of protest and state in that letter its blatant harassment on you. In my area, letters like that go directly to the labor manager. If it goes to a suspension where you actually have your job threatened at that time, then you can grieve and should within 10 days. Then stick the warning letter on your wall to remind you of how this "friendly" manager screwed you, a good employee; the next time any of your centers management touches a box, grieve. They'll back down eventually. [/QUOTE]
