Yellow | Absenteeism Papers

In Dallas because our old policy is the one the company hated the most,the letter was sent to our supervisors and our guys got it and posted it in the breakroom, the local got it the same day and are looking into now
It was in my back pocket, I took pictures sent em to KK and posted em back in the breakroom
Yeah they fired D##@@ for fmla abuse but his reason for being on fmla was no longer valid per the company bec ause of the death in the family for tht person he was on fmla for, he went fishing and posted pics but called in for fmla, he works at fed ex up the street now, somebody snitched tk management and told em about his Facebook posts
I don't know where that 2 page document came from. This is what was adopted under the new MOU.
Albag the district office is on our lot at 511, area vp and all the button down creased white shirts with company cars and they gave it to our supervisors
Fmla and workman's comp. abuse is nothing new. Roadway would photograph Teamsters with neck injuries surfing, even back in the eighties.
People, you've got a job. Show up and be on time.
There is nothing in that memo that is unreasonable. There is no white-collar job that pays at the level of what drivers are making that doesn't require dependable attendance. School teacher? Registered Nurse? Pharmacist? You can't just take off whenever you want.
This kind of nonsense is what gives unions a bad name.

I know it declined by one this week anyway.
Of course everything you just said is right and I don't in any way want to give the union a bad name but none of the other professions you just named are making it a point to fire their employees who sacrifice to keep the business open for valid documented medical and personal reasons, in dallas that's what the supervisors are being told, even if the employee has a bonafide verifiable medical excuse, that's just not right and I'm not a negative person at all I just don't like the negative approach and attitude the company is taking towards us
And I really feel it is YRCF's loss. We don't agree often, but I'm confident you are an asset. And ABF's better by your move.
This reminds me of the movie The longest yard where the warden tells the guards to inflict as much pain is as humanly possible on the convicts after Burt Reynolds agrees to throw the game. You CAN take off if your ill or fatigued. YOU and 61% agreed they could write you up and fire ALL of us for it. Does the term scared sheep mean anything to you?

Does the phrase, "I told you so", ring a bell? Does it mean anything to you? You sure were beating the old drum on your soapbox after the MOU passed. You sold it when it was up for vote, you bought it when the vote came down now you have to live with it. Or you could always practice what you preached and just go find another job after saving all those Teamsters' jobs. Right?

I agree they have been getting FULL PENSION PASYMENTS ALL ALONG !!!! Something we will never see again
The new attendance policy is the result of one thing and one thing only, TEAMSTERS ABUSE! If you think otherwise you are mistaken. Is it fair? NO. But the "they'll get someone else" to do YOUR work "attitude" has got to stop. Bonafide day to day absenteeism is not the problem. But "it's a nice day I'm taking off" IS!
The new attendance policy is the result of scared weak minded people who fell for propaganda and voted it in.period.
I stand by my comment. If you feel you can work on "your schedule" then as far as I'm concerned your the reason for it. Vote or not. The contract ONLY requires prior written notice before discharge.
you stand by a lot of things that make no sense. when they fire a sufficient # of drivers at your location, raise the hiring standards, and call the shinny wheels to take your job, remember what your position was on the matter. And stand by it.
Firings will only occur to those who FAIL to protect themselves. FMLA and proper use of sick paid days. When YOU accepted employment, I'm sure it was mentioned that attendance was MANDITORY, not OPTIONAL!
