Changing of the start times is a supplemental issue not a national issue...Nice try though. Sounds like you should grow a set and run for steward if you are that upset with the way things are run in your building. It’s easy for anyone to stand on the sidelines and critique and not do anything. It takes a real person to stand up and do something about it. What will you do to change things??
He doesn't want to hear about supplement issues......

You don't even know who your steward is? Find out on Monday and get to know that guy. You can help him out by writing down which supervisors are touching our boxes and stealing our work, from start to stop, and just give him the list. One of us will be happy to take all that grievance money.

It’s amazing the amount of people that want results but don’t want to do anything to see the results. And would rather have others do the work for them. I’ve been a steward for quite some time now and I shake my head when guys say they don’t want to come to a union meeting.
The turnout is pathetic. You don't have to go to everyone.

We always have a great turn out in Local 25. But trying to get some new blood down to the meeting is like pulling teeth. Even from 22.3s.
Unfortunately it's dying off and the union doesn't do anything to promote it. Once the old guard is gone I'll be a bleak future .

I love my job. Don't you?
You have an easy slam dunk grievance. File asap. If you let them get away with it then they will continue to do the same things.
You definitely need to get to know your steward, and talk to him about this.
For instance, in my local you would get paid for the time worked, if a supervisor gave you an order, but would not be eligible for overtime:
It might not seem like much. Only an hour. That's how it starts.
In my center, it's so messed up that we're in the middle of a fight over break times being used for PCMs.
They're so desperate to steal, that they'll try to take 1 minute of our time so they don't have to pay us for the supervisor to tell us we need to work faster.
Take a stand, and grow a pair. That's YOUR money, if they told you to do any work.
Or else shut up, and learn to be a masochist.

You are the union, fool! (Maybe your a scab, as @BigUnionGuy insinuated. In that case,you scab!)
Stewards aren't there to coddle you and wipe your ass when you take a
It's allotta work, working pt ups, and being in a video gaming clan. That's like two full time jobs!
If he doesn't even know who is steward is, that's 100% on the union. That shows a completely lazy, or at least inactive, steward and BA.
It is their job to introduce and educate new union employees on the union environment. People truly don't even know there is one, even many months into working here. And that's a union failure.
You cannot possibly expect new people to do any heavy lifting when they don't even know we are unionized or what a contract is.

People come up to me and say hey my times been wrong.i ask how long has this been going on and they say about a month.wtf,these people know me and know who I am why didn't they say something earlier.dont always believe this I dont know who my steward is and I dont know we had a union crap.more often the case the member does not notify the union of an issue.
