Eric Klejka has been delivering packages to customers in Westmoreland County, Pa., for more than nine years. As a UPS package car driver and member of Teamsters Local 30, Klejka prides himself on his work.

So, when he began his shift one morning with a truck that had not been cleaned, he decided to be proactive.

“The truck was so filthy I could barely see out of the windows — it looked bad and was a safety hazard,” Klejka recalled.

He left the Greensburg package car center and took a few minutes to get the truck washed. A few days later, the company fired him for “theft of time.”
