[QUOTE="laffter, post: 1892992, member: 43119"] The argument I would make is that any union employee can load packages onto any package car. They cannot prove that I loaded any particular package onto any car. Misload reports are routinely inaccurate- they sometimes show cars on people that did not load them, then reporting that they misloaded onto that car. I have heard from drivers about misloaded packages that I am certain I did not handle. Example: huge irreg misload in the rear that I know was not there when I left that morning. Irreg trains are still sometimes going around after some loaders go home, so other people are left to deal with them. So, if they can't be certain that I am responsible for any misload, how can they discipline me for it? A warning letter may not really be discipline, but if the next step is suspension for something that may not have warranted it otherwise, then you've got a problem. [/QUOTE]
