[QUOTE="Superteeth2478, post: 4078077, member: 73024"] Management at my building has tried that "taking notes on the clock is stealing time" BS for a while. You have a right to take notes pertinent to grievances on the clock. Just don't spend an inordinate amount of time doing it. I take all of 5 seconds to scratch down the time/work location/supervisor's name for my notes. This is because I utilize a system of shorthand and write so fast no one but me can make heads or tails of what's in my notes. What are you more willing to risk, filing an inaccurate grievance because you utilized your faulty memory to write them and losing your job over "dishonesty" or them wasting their time telling you you can't take notes during the sort? If you're doing everything else right and they're messing with you for union activity file for retaliation. And the battle against supervisors working is always a worthy battle. Only the OP knows whether or not he's the right kind of soldier for it. You have to be cool-headed to deal with the retaliation and keep from doing something stupid in response to it. You have to have balls. You have to actually care to some extent about the problem and not just about the money or you'll fold as soon as your job is on the line (and some still will). You have to be a model employee (it sucks, but that's the way it is). If you can mark all those boxes you're good to go. [/QUOTE]
