My only question is, is this being blow out of proportion? Not saying it didn't happen just I know some supplementals require you to say something to management first before filing a grievance. For example I believe the central says a grievance must first be brought to the immediate manager before being reduced to writing.
I'm friends with many stewards and hang out with them a lot. It's an understatement when people say it's a thankless job. Especially if you're from a local like mine where stewards still pay union dues.
I don't pay dues, but get a 1099 each year.
If you get a 1099 for dues not paid, you should be able to write that total off if you itemize on your tax return.
Total dog and pony show
Here once your name is on the 9.5 list you can file at any time you’re over 9.5 after the third day. The first grievances is put on hold because we lost an arbitration case due to the language of the word “continually” put over 95. After your second grievance within that period You get paid for both 9.5s and all subsequent grievances. We are not required to inform management other than putting our name on the list.
Yep. Gotta notify management, and give them a chance to resolve the problem. There's even an area for it on the grievance form.
Wow, I remember the arbitration but that hasn't happen here yet. We file and they pay. They try and delay but they always pay.
I agree, when it comes to 9.5 there is no reason to discuss the grievance before putting it to writing. You're on the list and you were violated.
Yep we have to file twice to get paid in one period.
How do hourlies make the union X amount of money other than by paying their monthly dues?
If you only knew
Of all of the things they don’t push. They take that to arb. Embarrassing.
It made no sense and we got it shoved up our ass
