OOIDA filed suit on the following points:
Specific language that OOIDA is challenging in its complaint includes the phrases "company policy violation," "unsatisfactory safety record," "excessive complaints," "cargo loss," "equipment loss," "quit/dismissed during training/orientation/probation," and "not eligible for rehire."
In a nut shell DAC created the form used by the carriers and the complaint claims there is no way can understand what the phrase(s) means. Example what does the phrase ""quit/dismissed during training/orientation/probation" mean? Did the driver quit? Was he fired? Did he leave during training? During orientation? During probation?
No one knows by reading the DAC report.
The same goes for the other phrases.
As far as being an independent reporting service. Look at the address of DAC. USIS's District of Columbia office was opened in 2002 within the ATA location there.
