[QUOTE="BeachBoy, post: 6028970, member: 44670"] Had my grievance hearing last night! They offered 60%. I said I'd take 70 to avoid hassle. Then we got into details. They were talking about a grievance filed in June, and I informed them that one had been settled, but the one from the following week was still open. I did some quick mental arithmetic and said, according to the contract, you guys are on the hook for about $5100. That got their attention. My steward corroborated the grievances. They said, um, we are going to have to look into this. Take your time, I said. But, the meter is still running. Oh, and BTW, you see my 5 open grievances for pay? You may want to address them at the same time, because if you let them drag on this long, it's going to cost you more than the $1600 that you owe me as of today. They signed the contract, not my fault they suck at payroll and timely addressing of grievances. [/QUOTE]
