Here is where the problem is. Making accusations of his record "most likely". Either he has a record or doesn't. This would not be the first or the last accident to come from the termanal or company and pray that they don't. But regardless he is the same person he was before the strike, he crossed for his own reasons, maybe he didn't see the merit of it, or needs a paycheck like the rest of us. But before he was regarded as a bretheran. And you said it, "NO REP to SAVE HIM". If this is deemed to be an avoidable accident he deserves the consiquences. If he has had to many, he deserves to be terminated for being a liability and an unsafe driver, but to many times have I seen that if this were the same union represented driver he would be protected. "You can't fire him, we have to go through the greivance process and when they don't like that, it's arbitration." At which point it just becomes cheaper to say, "Fine they can keep there job as long as they keep their nose clean for 6 months". Plain and simple, a bad employee is a bad employee and just because they are union
doesn't make them a good one. So when you are sitting at the union hall meetings just think about who is serving who the kool aid.
And just a note fore Kiddriver, Really getting tired of the whole, my dad this, my dad that. When you have something to say something for yourself, great! Just a thought
