What not to do

[burrheadd]

So is morphine, but you don't drive under its influence.

So you don't think any of these potheads are using on the job?

 

[Staydryitsraining]

He's done completely.

You can't ask for help.... after the fact.


Article 35 Section 4.11


"3. Dischargeable Offenses

D. Possession of and/or consumption of an alcoholic beverage while on duty."


Central Region Supplement

Article 17


"(b) drinking of, or under the influence of alcoholic beverage or narcotics during the workday pursuant to National Master Article 35;"


He was almost 4 times the legal limit.

I've seen supervisors fighting hourlies and both kept their jobs. Anything is possible

 

[browndevil]

Article mentions that the driver claimed he is going through a divorce. I feel for him. But this job can't tolerate someone being wasted on the clock, there's too much at stake. I wish him all the best.

Damn! Sounds like his job was the one positive thing going for him. I send my best to you Brother Caskey

He's toast. There is absolutely no way the company would risk the negative press.

 

[AwashBwashCwash]

No sympathy.
If anything he should be thankful he got caught before he killed somebody.
You gotta have your head really far up your ass to drive for a living and show up to work drunk.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

By the report, it sounds like he was using a helper and .316.
Alot of people are fortunate in this case.

A lot of hurting people out there.

Lucky nobody on the street got hurt. Company would be hurting too then.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

I wonder how many are smoking weed on the job?

That would explain a lot of the writeups I see.

They should munch on sunflower seeds.

And spit the husks all over the cab.

"Like dig man, the blinking thing is blinking and barking like a mo-fa dude"...

Make it stop raining so I can see the backup thingy better.

 

[rod]

So you weren't suppose to drink on the job----NOW you tell me.

 

[soberups]

Because, depending upon the circumstances, a mutual fight is not necessarily a cardinal offense under the contract.
DUII at 3x the legal limit while on duty is a cardinal offense. No ifs, ands or buts about it.
He is gone. I hope this is the bottom he needs to hit in order to get help and recover.

And spit the husks all over the cab.

God that reminds me of when my driver buddy found out they were going to scrap his beater of a car, and he took it as a free pass to litter the whole thing in sunflower seeds for about a month. The peanut gallery smells a lot better than most cars, strangely enough.

Guy needs our prayers, professional help and a really good shop steward.

"Caskey told the cops he’s an alcoholic and going through a divorce. He expressed concern over losing his job and keeping his insurance to care for his 11-year-old daughter, the arrest report said."

Prayers go out.
Alcoholics are much maligned in our society. It is not just a matter of will power, or just choosing not to drink. Then once they drink their judgment is impaired, and some drive.

Drunk drivers kill innocent people which is a great tragedy. But the destruction of an alcoholic and his family is also tragic.

UPS driver arrested after admitting to drinking a 'half pint of whiskey' on the job


No matter how bad things are.... Don't do something like this.

Call off, ask for help, anything but come to work drunk or drink on the job.


There is no coming back, from a cardinal sin like this.

Not true, had a guy come in drunk and got his job back. He was a driver and is still working to this day.

I bet he ran scratch every day though. Our runners could crap in the office floor every morning and nothing would be said.

Nope, he is a old vet that runs over allowed every day. I have no idea why they didn't fire him, maybe they felt bad for him I guess.
