ya for sure go see your steward like others have said . However if you have broken the law in some way then your ##### is grass . what`s your story ?

Usually there is a 3 strikes your out. Your ba or stewart should have been aware of any problems before termination. Unless it is a big problem then termination immediately.

Yea what caused you to get let go??

You will find that a Union may or may not back you up. It will depend on the risen you were fired. It will also depend on you. If you are a jerk sometimes the Union looks the other way. Sometimes the union is a little on the lazy side and you have to demand they stand up for you. Usually, if you are in a UNION shop which I personally believe everyone should be, they do not fire you without a good reason.
You should know in your own heart whether the Union has your back. Why did they fire you? -
well what happened was awhile back I miss read the manifest and my first stop it was a key drop and when I was trained I was told that when you have a key drop and the freezer is you know one of those reach in ones
the ones you have to put it on a shelf well the only freezer I saw at the time was a few of those reach in ones so I just put a few frozen products like ten or so I set them in front of the reach in's so that way when they get in they could see them and put them away,and some of the product was poultry,so I miss read the manifest in the morning it actually said on the paper work to put the freezer in the walk in freezer,and I didn't and for that the management want's to
terminate me but there is more to it,I felt that the manager prior to this been riding me for everything like a long story short I felt like he was looking for any reason to fire I felt like that for around three weeks before this happened
but I still feel like that shouldn't be a terminating offense that is way to hard on me no warning shots or nothing.that was wrong, I mean whats right is right if I got caught doing wrong then I'm going to man up and take whatever I have coming to me this is way to hard lose your job?
