[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 3031501, member: 4992"] I completely understand his aggravation. It bothers me that people feel that way about their Local, and transfer those feelings toward the Union in general. It was at only 6 months in (as a part-timer) that I filed my first grievance. The veteran Steward thought I was a little cocky. When I handed him the grievance papers, he looked at me and said "So, you think you know it all". I said "nope".... but I'm going to learn. Fortunately, I had some great mentors. People I still look up to. Because UPS always "promoted from within" I felt there were people in positions, they would never hold in another company. Knowing that, my goal was to hold them accountable and represent the members. I might have had a little extra going for me. An ethnical trait. ;) [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisu"]Sisu - Wikipedia[/URL] -Bug- [/QUOTE]
