Dude if you don’t know the game by now you got no business posting anything, you must have a path worn into the carpet leading to the managers desk. Hows this one for you? Worker blows out knee pallet jacking freight to rear of trailer, gets a letter for improper work methods, poor guy ended up with an artificial knee implant. ( true story).
You want more? I got a million of them. Word of advice, don’t bust your butt (or anything else) trying to kissbecause you’ll get a letter for it. improper sucking methods.
We all got a million of them. Most teamsters are are not wimps. They get off the floor and get back in the game. But there are a good % of whiners for sure. If you hurt yourself it's an automatic letter, last sentence in letter reads "any future violation of company policy will result in more severe discipline up to and including discharge" you have to
Hey Joe! Honest question. In 27 years at Rdwy did you ever file on anything? None of my business I'm just trying to understand. Also starting to wonder if you REALLY buy into your own rhetoric?
:TR10driving03: Lots of time
Seems he has lots of time Here's to you "thejoe" 
It seems yrc has forgotten how to say thank you for the almost one BILLION DOLLARS we teamsters have given them. They are now writing chicken$hit letters for everything under the sun,harrassing people just like the days when this WAS the best job in trucking and we would take it because of the money and benefits. Now we make a lot less and no pension payments and this makes this kind of crap harder to swallow.
I think it's time to re-vote the last two amendments and take back our money and pension as of NOW. Then these a$$holel can write all the letters they want and we can save on toilet paper just like the old days.
Job ,with no respect, is not bettet than NO JOB. Iwould be the first to sign a petition to re-vote.
By the way , I voted yes the last two times and I am really sorry . So go ahead and say it,I TOLD YA SOOOO.

A warning letter for getting injured has been a company policy since the beginning of time. I got a letter for 'failure to meet work responsibilities for booking off during a nor'easter and state police asked for no trucks on road, 6-7 inches in driveway. Protest? yes win? no. Did I get Paid for being unable to get back to the terminal during another storm? Interstates closed roads impassable. File? yes- win? no. Act of God. Did I win when when I needed a wrecker to to get pulled out in yet another storm? no File? Yes. Company policy got letter. Did they have 8-10 pages of company rules near time clock. Yes. Was I aware of all of them? Yes, I needed the job. Did I protest the letters when I was dead wrong? no I just threw them in the pail on the way out. Were any of the drivers company men? no. If you're slow you're food, we all new it. Did all the drivers have a lot of class? Yes. Could the BA or steward help? If you broke a company rule or policy [size=+2]don't even ask[/size] I mean ya gotta grow up at some pointHey Joe! Honest question. In 27 years at Rdwy did you ever file on anything?

Fair enough, you answered my question. :thumbsup: At some point even Superman won't **** into the wind.
I got 4 letters in 2 weeks :TR10driving03:
What is an improper work method?
Just remember 1 warning letter = 6 grievances
They stopped giving me letters because it cost they too much $$$$$
Did win 14 out of 16 grievances when they "Relieved Me of Duty pending Investigation"
Prob about $1500 + the $1250 they paid me to be off work.

This member of management may be pro management, however he is very pro company. Even if you do not like all of his opinions, you should be happy we have management members here that take their time to post for the better of us all.
Not loading freight properly, (dunnage, airbags, deck bars) not checking freight (crossing shipments) this sort of thing.

Since we can get written up for improper work methods for hurting ourselves, can a TM get written up for not supplying their employees with proper work equipment, so that they can work safely? Such as a working pallet jack, a two wheel cart, and load locks that actually work? I think that I know the answer. I doubt it.
you are right
You are right....but you can't be fired for that, a TM possibly could be fired for that.

They may not be able to fire us, but they surely can write us up for "unsafe work practices". I'm sure that if you had enough "unsafe work practice" write ups, they would send you packing. I think that proper equipment makes the job safer, and it also makes the productivity go up and claims go down.
