AUTO JOBS

It has been brought to the attention of the Officers that keys have been missing on the auto jobs.  Can you PLEASE make sure that you do not have the keys in your possession before leaving the terminal.  Please help protect our work by treating the car as if it were your own vehicle. 

SELF SURVEY

• Have you ever taken an elevation before the official start time of your shift?

• Do you drive to a job site and place gear inside equipment to hold for yourself hours before the shift?

• Do you check in before the official start so you can get a good break?

• Are you negligent about correctly adding your hours?

• Do you feel like “if you can get away with it” then you will do it?

• Is your excuse, “everyone else is doing it so I might as well do it too”?

• Do you circumvent the Dispatch Hall?

• Are you part of a group covering up for each other’s miss-doings?

• Do you kiss up to supervision to get perks?

• Are you unfair to your union brothers and sisters?

• Do you neglect to cover your reap until it fills?

• Are you picking up reaps and then showing up at a ridiculous time?

• Do you resolve issues with disrespectful language and/or violence?

• Do you reap a job on an initial start, then pick up another job before your reap is filled?

• Do you reap a job after being on a comeback, then pick up another before your initial job has finished?

If you answered YES to any of the above, you are breaking union rules.  Shaping up, chiseling and cheating is SCAB BEHAVIOR. 

Fraternally,

Chris Viramontes   Julie Brady    Mark Williams
