[QUOTE="Griff, post: 312200, member: 7111"] That's right and FYI there is no middle ground on this issue. You either defend the contract or you do not. They don't care what you say, actions speak louder than words. The attitude I supply is zero tolerance and with high scrutiny of detail -- much like how I am treated by management. We are all products of our environment, there is scores of people who feel the way I do, they just don't have the backbone to file for fear of being targeted. The way I act has nothing to do with self-esteem or an inferiority complex as pointed out by Tieguy PhD. Just another bad attempt by a terrible, petty and weak manager to try to undermine the contract and the subsequent upholding of it by union employees. Lets get this one out on the table as well, since it's been brought up by more than one person. Filing grievances has absolutely nothing to do with biting the hand that feeds you. Don't use this as excuse for having no spine, 25-30 years is a long time to be a doormat. The people who abide by this mentality are almost always the "users" in the union. You know, the guy who works on his truck for 40 minutes before his start time, skips his lunch, never files grievances -- but he's all about the union once he gets fired. He's the first in line asking questions, demanding answers and waving the Teamster flag then. This is the kind of leech the union should disown, a traitor to our cause and creed. [/QUOTE]
