Part time employee (cashier) for Metro for many years. Came in to work was taken by my supervisor directly to my manager and some security guy from Headquarters. Security accused me of 'sweethearting' saying I gave away meat to a customer, that I was caught on camera. I was in shock so I didnt think about it at the time, I didnt have my uninon rep present just my supervisor as a witness. They had me sign a form that says ive have been disiplined infront of my union rep or representative of my choice. I did not choose my supervisor, and the name at the top of this 'dicipline' form is actually my nickname, not my real name.
I have never 'given' away product. Ive actually told my friends and family to never come through my till specifically. They have trusted me at nights to be the last one on the floor, they trusted me to work in the vault room and add up all the tills. I dont understand why all of sudden this security from Headquarters is accusing me of this.
Im only under suspension without pay at the moment, with final verdict on my issue to be given in a few days. What should I be doing incase they decied to fire me?
