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...........

It's......... It's because your not paying Max Union dues and until then your last priority but once you do START...... They will bring you sandwiches cut into triangles without the crust and accompany you to the bathroom to whipe your @$$ after.

Sorry But that's Just How it Goes.....

Tip: Calling Corporate Really does Work in Getting the Attention You Want.

sounds about as bad as my steward all the information is online as well she didnt even know that......

I see mine practically every night and didn't even know. Another guy told her to give me a book.

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...

It's the action, not the fruit of the action, that's important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there'll be any fruit. But that doesn't mean you stop doing the right thing. You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.

Sure, we pay less dues than all of the old-timers...but if NRTW happens, and everybody under $15/hr decides they're not getting their money's worth...They'll notice then. They'll beg us to come back and promise better representation than they give drivers.

Do you ever go to a union meeting?

That wasn't towards Shop Stewards it was Toward Union Reps.

She should. Don't wait to be employed for almost 2 years here like I did.

I just want to clarify that I'm not in favor of RTW by any means. Just saying, it might have the positive side effect of a) exposing union officials who are only in it for the money and b) getting them and others with an attitude of indifference off their asses.

HI

I've Noticed in the Hub and talking to fellow Brown brothers/sisters many feel the same about how badly the union represents us or gives us the cold shoulder doesn't reply back to Voicemails for Weeks/Months One has said they want to call the Union and ask for all their Union Due Fees Back Since the representation is sadly Poor and it is Very. I am actually Highly upset of the representation I received while dealing with an Issue I had acquired and this is Why you should Read your "Bible" attend Meetings and Spread Knowledge amongst others.

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.

Thanks except for the break that sounds like the bits and pieces I've heard. Where do you get the contract from?

Didn't you say you already had one?

Anyway, either talk to your steward or go to your union hall. They'll have one for sure.
