I am still learning all that stuff.

The basics (assuming you're covered by the central):
-If you're on the schedule, and you get to work on time, you're entitled to 3.5 hours of work. If the work doesn't exist, they can pay you to go home. Use caution, though. If I was a supervisor, I'd hand you a broom. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
-If you aren't scheduled for 5 days in a week, and there's a sort happening on the weekend, you are entitled to that work before somebody who has already worked 5 days.
-You are entitled to a 10 minute paid break.
-If you're laid off for more than a week, you can bump a less senior employee on another shift until your shift needs you back.
-Supervisors aren't allowed to perform union work except when training and/or they've exhausted all options (which they rarely do).
-Supervisors aren't allowed to harass you.
-If you're fired or suspended for a non-cardinal infraction, you can continue to show up to work regardless of what the schedule or your supervisor says until your termination or suspension is upheld at a local level hearing.

My contract is hundreds of pages long, but this is a pretty good start if I do say so myself.

This is what annoys me about the union. There's no outreach effort. I worked here for 5 months before I got my hands on a contract. If I was running things, stewards would be coming to the new members, not the other way around.
kindve why i wanna become the pt steward soon here these older guys just dont care about us

It's not that they don't care. I think it's because they believe that newer people don't care. Why waste the time on someone who's going to quit in 2 weeks? Nevertheless, I do not like the current approach.

And they wonder why nobody gets involved with the union or stands up for their rights...
