[QUOTE="dave991, post: 750629, member: 15130"] Tie guy is hopping mad about something, do you remember the post you made a couple months ago (probably not, you post so many) that said alot of sups and P/T sups welcome grievances so that their job description and responcibilities can be better defined???? In other words their bosses will ask them to perform " union work" which is a clear violation of the contract. Yet when the parties sit down they try to explain it away as a frivilous, harmful grievance only meant to monetarily harm the company. Remember? Grievances not clearly defined by contract language CAN be helpful. The reason there are labor panels every month is because not every situation or action can be defined by a few hundred pages of language. The majority of employees simply want to perform well, get their pay, and try to get through the next week. I believe the same of the mgmt. When you get an over-aggressive person on either side of the fence that tries to abuse the system either for financial or career advancement reasons, it should be addressed. When you have employees being written up for BS reasons (in their opinion) you may get BS grievances (in your opinion). As a steward I can only advise an employee their grievance lacks merit, but according to our language I cant stop it, That is left up to the next level, much like when someone gets a bogus discipline we cant stop it just fight it at the next level. In closing, what you perceive as a BS grievance may be just that, but it may be part of a larger scale issue that does need to be addressed somewhere through the chain of command. [/QUOTE]
