[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1182382, member: 29553"] Arbitration Victory: Your Right to Union Representation Local 804 has won an important arbitration victory against UPS that defends your right to union representation. Under the [U][B]Arbitration Award[/B][/U], UPS is required to give the Union advance notice so a shop steward can be present whenever management meets with a member concerning a grievance, discipline or to ask questions as part of a company investigation. Until a shop steward is present, management cannot start the meeting or ask questions as part of a disciplinary investigation. These rights are all spelled out in Article 4 of the national contract. But UPS management, including Loss Prevention, were violating the contract by questioning members in secret, and in some cases coercing members to waive their right to union representation and resign, without any shop steward present. Local 804 took this issue to the national grievance panel. When it deadlocked there, we took the issue to arbitration—and we won. You have the right to union representation. If management tries to meet with you about discipline or grievances or to question you without a shop steward present, they are violating the contract and this Arbitration Award. Ask for a union representation immediately. A member cannot waive their right to union representation without a shop steward present. And no member should ever waive their right to union representation. That's like going to court without a defense lawyer. If you hear about management trying to violate this Arbitration Award, tell your shop steward or business agent immediately.
