I had a conflict with my immediate supervisor and his supervisor that would have resulted in my immediate removal from my job under the guidelines you are about to enforce. While pointing out that a member of my team was lying about the work she was doing, that she was constantly on the phone and on the internet, my supervisor decided not to do anything about this. Instead it was turned against me. I ended up the focus of an investigation that I sexually harrassed this individual. It turns out not only did this person never say so, my immediate supervisor forged documents about a meeting between he and I that never happened (where he supposedly counseled me) and his supervisor told the Union that I didn't like working with women. This person also told the employee that "supposedly" accused me of sexual harrassment that she should watch her back on the way to the car, that I was dangerous. Under the current format the Union was able to get to the bottom of this and have me moved from both supervisors. Under the new regulations either of these individuals would have been allowed to remove me on the spot. It would have taken as long as the government needed to defend itself for me to get my job back, I would have to pay the lawyer fees and the Union couldn't have done a thing for me. Do you think that's fair? Yet that's the power your giving corrupt supervisors.
