I'm tired of the harassment from my Full-Time Supervisor!

@Brownslave688

So are you saying because I haven't filed a grievance for harassment, everything I've done to this point is worthless

No. I think what he's wondering is why a union employee didn't use the union's own mechanisms for dealing with this before taking further action.

Yes and no. Is your steward useless? Have you had any contact whatsoever with your business agent regarding the harassment? I would go through the union first, then HR, then corporate complaint, and then the EEOC. Filing federal complaints is a bit extreme, so it should always be last. But at the same time, it also allows you to accumulate evidence, such as a copy of the letter you wrote HR, grievances, etc.. Like @TearsInRain said, a paper trail.

@Bastiatian I'll put it this way, I told my shop steward that he was harassing me again. She just told me to go to HR, like she gave up.

Don't forget OSHA (hostile work environment) and;

NLRB.

@trickpony1

What is the NLRB?

Do you have any other stewards? If not, that's when you call the union hall and talk to your business agent.

National Labor Relations Board.

@Bastiatian Yeah, but I've never talked to him before. Plus he's in the other building.

Your issue does not require their intervention.

Did she give up because she knows the end result of a harassment grievance would be "no contract violation"?

@UpstateNYUPSer I'll keep this in mind. Thank you, sir.

A grievance should always be your first line of defense.


Otherwise you just look like a whiny little Bitch.

@trickpony1 Not sure. You know more about that than I do.

It might if the local union is just ignoring the harassment issue and not doing their job.

Let's see.......
When the union isn't doing anything and the company isn't doing anything......who would you suggest?

@Brownslave688 Thanks for the info...

Exactly. If you skip the first line of defense it looks like you're overreacting.

What does your wearing glasses have to do with any of this?

@Brownslave688 Does it help that I'm not the only person who's called corporate complaint on him?

Depends.


We've had sups do some terrible stuff to multiple people and it never go anywhere because they have connections higher up in the company.

@burrheadd The main reason was to let them know I was really trying my best not to misload. Come to find out, I had no idea I had astigmatism until I got my eyes checked.

Lowered his misload count .
