My understanding of these discharges is the Fort made the call on these 3 drivers. They called the "yes men" at 042 and told them to get it done. It almost looked like lets pick on these guys at 042. I haven't heard much of this going on anywhere else as of yet. Did they target Carlisle because of ongoing issues with their Local Drivers; or is it they (ABF) knows that Local 776 leadership is so weak the company can get away with almost anything. A Business Agent who tells a Member to just settle for a three day suspension because the company claims to have so much info against said driver is crazy. As far as I'm concerned by not taking this issue head on; we have now subjected ourselves to time in the street because BA didn't fight the issue. With any new change of the Contract; you have to challenge what the new language reads through the grievance procedure. Let the people who wrote the language interpret it. As far as Local 776 is concerned ! We here at 042 are counting the days that we can vote for new representation !!!
