Hours cut due to a safety related issue.

What makes YOU think you were being retaliated against?

Fewer hours is not retaliation.

Being fired is.

being harrassed over every little thing is.

Some companies think they don't have to pay unemployment if you quit so they try to get you to quit.

If there was a real safety issue, they would have just fired you.

 

Clarify this for me:

The front seal went out, he reported it, the truck is in the shop. Driver is paid by the hour, but since his truck is in the shop, they have nothing for him to do, therefore he gets sent home. What am I missing?

You own a truck. If you hired a driver that you paid hourly, you wouldn’t pay him if he were asleep, would you? If he were away from home, you would foot the bill for the motel, but would you pay him for sitting in the motel? I am trying to understand why you think that they’re retaliating for him reporting the front seal blowing out.

Fewer hours is still hours. If he were mileage, they would throw some breakdown pay into the mix if he were away from home, but it would be only a third of what he would usually make. Yes, I understand that it’s hurting the driver’s money, but imagine the hit to the owner.

 

He said this earlier. Sounds to me like he reported it and they said they’d get the truck in the following day.
