That would be ideal, but some issues like this, take more scrutiny and research than the member can facilitate while actually doing their job.I'm suspecting BUG would want the member to file a grievance under NM Art 26 Sec 4, or at minimum inform the local of the violation with some factual information.
Not "all contract violations", we're only talking about SurePost here, a program with virgin contractual language.And you delusionally think a local union official can somehow stop all contract violations without membership involvement?
Except shipper release packages.You shouldn't release any packages at businesses regardless of service level.
Are you "so chicken" to not stand up for the members who make you aware of a problem?

Is it too much to ask that our elected Officers and Agents take a "hands on" approach?....or is the preload outside their "office hours"?
It's too much for many members to show up at a meeting. Would one or two meetings a year kill you?That is such a lame TDU retort.
The grievance procedure, begins with the member.
Local Unions.... are not babysitters.
Thats where your Steward should be involved....
In correspondence with the BA.
Is it too much to ask....
For preload members to show up, at a Local monthly meeting ??
I'm with you, in support of your concerns.
But, it can be a 2-way street.
Think about it.

Y? It's trueI didn't want to hit the agree button....
I really didn't.
That's the standard answer I give to my co-workers when theu ask stupid questionsI didn't want to hit the agree button....
I really didn't.
You mean they have an AYCE pizza buffet afterwards?That's the standard answer I give to my co-workers when theu ask stupid questions
Go to a ing union meeting sometime and find out what's going on.
You are paying over a 1k a year in dues, ⅞get your money's worth
Many drivers are finding businesses, multiple pkg stops and over weight/sized being diverted to the post office this week.
The postmasters in multiple locations have confirmed they got communication from UPS that they were sending the bulk of their surepost to the p.o. effective Tuesday.
How are you all dealing with this and is your local responding with real help?
We got a ton of grievances filed on it.This surepost sh starts at the top... People have called the intl on this to get clarification on things and nothing has been done... The union has no idea the amounts of volume that is going to the post office daily....that is extra work and jobs ... Aka union dues paying members, that the union is missing out on... You think they might understand that!!
No. But we usually have beers afterwards.You mean they have an AYCE pizza buffet afterwards?
I'm sure the Company will be happy to allow the steward to leave his work area to monitor this issue, as well as not firing the preloaders for "stealing time" when they attempt to document what's going on with the hundreds, if not thousands of SurePost packages processed daily in my building.That is such a lame TDU retort.

We need eyes and ears everywhere. A steward is allowed to investigateI'm sure the Company will be happy to allow the steward to leave his work area to monitor this issue, as well as not firing the preloaders for "stealing time" when they attempt to document what's going on with the hundreds, if not thousands of SurePost packages processed daily in my building.
Your answer is a cop out, think about it.
My Local has our monthly meetings on a week night at 7pm.No. But we usually have beers afterwards.
It's also a good way to get questions answered and meet your BA and steward.
Bug usually has good insight on things afaic, but he is way off base on this.... This system of surepost which started out with somewhat good intentions to counter fedex smart post has been totally abused by the company.... We are bringing 2 and 3 x the amount of volume that FedEx brings and that was never the case a couple years ago ....this surepost language is weak and almost nonexistent and the enhanced language the union "won" for us a couple years back is a joke... Just a dog and pony show for the members....factI'm sure the Company will be happy to allow the steward to leave his work area to monitor this issue, as well as not firing the preloaders for "stealing time" when they attempt to document what's going on with the hundreds, if not thousands of SurePost packages processed daily in my building.

A steward needs permission from management to leave their work area.We need eyes and ears everywhere. A steward is allowed to investigate
