I got disqualified as a package delivery driver for UPS after 30 days of probation

I really help on this one I’m starting to get desperate. Last year from June-July I was going through a 30 day probation to become a package delivery driver. On my 31st day of driving I got disqualified even though I already had passed my probation. My manager was claiming that I only did 26-27, which is far off. I called the union my business agent I told him about my situation. I told my business agent the only way I can think of the days that didn’t count as working day is holiday July 4th, he said it doesn’t matter it still counts. Then, I told my business agent what my manager told me, the first day of my probation when I was with a driver according to the manager it doesn’t count, but my business agent said it doesn’t matter as long I’m wearing a brown uniform it…


I really help on this one I’m starting to get desperate. Last year from June-July I was going through a 30 day probation to become a package delivery driver. On my 31st day of driving I got disqualified even though I already had passed my probation. My manager was claiming that I only did 26-27, which is far off. I called the union my business agent I told him about my situation. I told my business agent the only way I can think of the days that didn’t count as working day is holiday July 4th, he said it doesn’t matter it still counts. Then, I told my business agent what my manager told me, the first day of my probation when I was with a driver according to the manager it doesn’t count, but my business agent said it doesn’t matter as long I’m wearing a brown uniform it still counts. My business agent and I had a meeting with my manager in September and they agreed that I will start driving this October and nothing happened. I told my business agent and he said he was able to do another agreement with my manager that I will be doing seasonal driving and when seasonal ends I will be immediately put as a permanent driver.. that also didn’t happen and seasonal ended in January 15. I told my business agent what’s going on, he kept assuring me that he was going to force him to put me in permanently since I already had passed my probation. I called my business agent last week if he was able to work anything out. My business agent told me he was able to keep my seniority and pay rate of $30. I told him alright so when do I start, he said when the volume picks up. I told him there’s cover drivers with lower seniority and they are driving already. My business agent all of a sudden is on his side saying I only did 28 working days and that the days I took the class didn’t count. I told him I never was counting class days as working days, I was only counting working days I have pay stubs to prove it. My business agent said we can review this past Monday which didn’t. This guys is having me wait so long it’s already been 8month ago, I should have just taken other driving offers from HR instead of waiting so long. Also, I don’t understand if according to my business agent if all of sudden I didn’t pass my probation then why is he saying he was able to keep my seniority and the pay rate it doesn’t make sense. At this point my business agent is switching sides and doesn’t want to help. My coworker suggested to call the union leader to have him do his job because he is not helping one bit and if the union leader doesn’t put the business agent in his sport, he said to have the National Labor Relations Board involved. I texted the union leader for the teamsters on Thursday, he replied a few of my text messages then stopped responding after he told me he was having a meeting. Yesterday I called him and texted him the situation this his business agent that working for him is screwing me over and doesn’t want to help. I asked him if he can help me whatsoever as a fellow teamster.. he just left me on read. At this point idk what to do. If there is anyone that can help me I would great greatly appreciate it. Any advice of what I should do?
