[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 2010314, member: 32753"] Might as well put this here: Why are drivers being fired for signing someone else's name? According to the contract [B]NO[/B], that is not dishonesty! Dishonesty is defined very particularly in the contract: '...when an act of dishonesty is made with the intent to defraud UPS or one of its customers', or words to that effect. Now, I could see if someone was caught signing for a time-commit package, [I]away[/I] from the customer's location and without doing so would make the package late, but outside of that, why? If a manager called for a driver's job, the shop steward should point out the strict wording in the contract, correct? And if the manager wants to pursue the termination and now needs to "investigate" whether what the employee did does in fact meet the agreed upon definition of "dishonesty", the employee should be allowed to continue to work under article 7, right? Slightly related topic: Is there a definite progression of discipline, or is it really a building-to-building thing? In my hub it is supposedly: meeting with accused, center manager and shop steward; warning letter; 1-, 3- and 5-day suspension, and then termination. However, I read here of guys getting fired for 'rolling packages', which also isn't a cardinal offense listed in the contract. What gives? [/QUOTE]
