Ok guys i need your opinions. I have been with UPS for almost 5 years now i started out as a part time sup on the pre load and went into driving. I have been a driver for well it will be 2 years in may. i filed my first grievance and the managers in my center took that as an insult or something and have been harrased ever since. by saying this i mean they have been writing me up for over a 1.5 now for the littlest thing such as being a minute late to the pcm or misdelievering a package or missing a pick up on a route i didnt know. some of these thing i understand are wrong and i should be written up for but other drivers in my center are doing the same or worse and they are letting them off on everything. i called the 800 number in november because it had gotten so bad and one of the manager stated that he was going to lay me off, i told him i had to many people below be he couldnt do that. he said he would lay everyone off just to get to me. peak came along things seemed to cool off. come this month they picked right back up. pulling me in the office for following edd and not making 9.5 when i was clearly in the red before i left. well last week i called out on tuesday to take my 8.5 month pregnant wife to the drs. there was a ice storm in MD and i didnt feel safe letting her go by herself. the next day i went into work and they gave me a notice of termination for calling out, and gave me 48 hours to get a drs note. i was out one day and didnt need a note as well as i have all my sick days and used one of them. well friday i went to work and they pulled me in the office asked where my note was, i told them i didnt have one and they terminated me under article 50, dishonesty. the manager said he didnt believe me that i took my pregnant wife to the dr and i was a liar. they escorted me off the property and here i am today.
What should my next step be? please any insight would be appreciated. thanks everyone.
