More attendance issues

A couple of months ago, a newly crossed-over DFO that was still on probation was fired for being late. The tragedy here was that her third and final occurrence was because she got lost on the AOA. She called the STSO when this was happening, and Covenant showed no mercy in terminating her.

Now comes another new DFO from that same class that was recently suspended for tardies! Huh, you say? Well, they suspended him because all of his tardies happened while he was in probation. Yet, the reason they didn't fire him was because they caught this AFTER he was off probation!

Why is there such an inconsistency with how Covenant is tracking and enforcing their attendance policies. Covenant has some explaining to do!

Needless to say, YOU, WE, must remain on top of these issues. Be proactive and make certain to contact your shop steward when these issues arise. Remember, you only have 10 business days to file a grievance. The sooner you take care of it, the better.
