The Fat Cat is Back!
Fat Tuesday came twice this year. When UPS management violated the contract by moving full-time 22.3 jobs from Melville to Nassau, the company got a very public visit from our union’s favorite feline.
Drugs & Alcohol are Off Limits @ Work
UPS policy states: "The unauthorized use, sale, or possession of alcohol and/or controlled substances is strictly prohibited while at work, on company property, or on company business.
This prohibition also includes use, sale, or possession of illegal drugs or improper use of controlled substances."
Every member needs to adhere to this policy in order to keep your job, and more importantly to protect your safety, the safety of your co-workers, and the general public.
This is common sense. But there have been a rash of violations of this policy.
Don't gamble with your livelihood and your license. Follow the company policy and obey the law!
