Do I get back pay if I'm reinstated after a UPS discharge?

Usually yes. Most successful discharge grievances result in reinstatement with full back pay, minus interim earnings.

When a discharged UPS Teamster is reinstated by a panel or arbitrator, the standard remedy is reinstatement with full back pay and benefits for the period out of work, minus interim earnings from other jobs (the duty to mitigate). Seniority is restored as if the discharge never happened.

If the panel finds the discipline was warranted but the penalty was too harsh, they may reinstate without back pay (a "last chance" outcome) or convert the discharge to a long suspension. The exact remedy is in the panel decision.
