I assume your a steward. How did you go about this? Did you ok it with your BA first? What were his thoughts, any push back from him or his feelings on how the other drivers would take it? Did management push back, did labor? Did a majority of your center do this or just a few? What has been the atmosphere since you started doing it. I ask all this because where I'm at, in a multi center building its a massive problem.
i am not. but our stewards are pretty open about what was going to happen. granted we are a small building. Not sure if it was the threat of doing it or if they actually had to file but i couldn't remember the last time we had anyone work off the clock and management not put a stop to it.
to answer your questions that i can. No pushback from management that i am aware, only a few, great and the ones that don't like it are the habitual management stooges so we don't care what they think.
I'm aware of this article. My BA isn't sure if the aftermath will be worth it. I'm 100% on board but if I don't have the backing of the guy who will push when it's sitting in front of labor it's a no win scenario.
The issue becomes discipline gets handed out by the company, making the Steward or BA look like the bad guy to those who do not understand.
What's your steward and ba need to do is file The grievance on the person starting's early behalf so they get paid for time works not Joe schmo that's all them working. And you have to remember this contractors for both management and teamsters so both have to follow it. What's the people starting early going to do? Complain to their BA that they are not following the contract? They'll get laughed out of the office.
Something else I just thought of is not any will they get laughed out of the office but if your BA has the balls to do it they can actually pull their union card or at least that's what ours is threatened to do with certain contract breakers. The one case that comes to mind is an air driver that was making ground pickups all the time and wasn't saying anything. RBA literally told him that if he did not call him the next time the company had him make ground pickups that he would lose his union card and in some states that means your job goes as well.
I never saw anyone get their union card pulled but I did see some get threatened about it. The wake up call was enough.
Yeah it's never actually happened but the threat has happened a few times. Like you said most people wake up when they that happens
Correct.
Grieve it
Are you in a rtw state?
Yes I am and while losing a union card in my state doesn't mean much The after effects of not having a union card outside of the BA and stewards is much worse. We have zero people in my building that aren't part of the union that can be
I’m in an RTW state.
I'm going to correct myself cuz I do not know if we have any part-timers not part of the union.
