Can UPS discipline me based on telematics or ORION data alone?

No. Article 6 and the technology-rider language bar discipline based solely on GPS, telematics, or ORION data.

The UPS National Master Agreement (Article 6) and the technology-and-telematics rider explicitly prohibit the company from disciplining an employee based solely on information from GPS, telematics, ORION, or any similar electronic monitoring system. Discipline must be supported by direct observation, an investigation, or other independent evidence.

Telematics can be used as a starting point for an investigation, but it can't be the only proof at a hearing. If you're written up with nothing but a DIAD download or an ORION variance as evidence, that's a contract violation — request the company's evidence in writing and file a grievance.
