[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 490875, member: 484"] Red Its obvious that redshift has an issue with the union and or shop stewards and business agents. It is his line of thinking that drives a wedge between the union and the hourly(read failed management wanna be type). Or while eloquent, does not have a clue about reality. I hate to state the obvious, but the hourly ARE THE UNION. Not the BA. The hourly are to be able to stand for what has been negotiated, stewards are volunteers that attempt to take care off contract issues that arise, and the BA takes care of the day to day business of the local, including attending hearings that go past the initial one. Our BA draws down about 60 grand a year, has 7 UPS centers, not to mention other teamsters at other companies. Several of them several hundred miles apart. So it would be impossible for him to be everywhere at all times. And the local can not afford more either. We do try and operate our local financially sound. So the stewards do their jobs as laid out in the contract, get paid for it, and all is well. Slow mover As for you being appointed as a alternate steward, that is a thought, but only after you have had some basic training as to what you can and cant do. Nothing like sending out a new guy, only to have him picked off for something he doesn't know about. d [/QUOTE]
