[QUOTE="area43, post: 227881, member: 4862"] Red, I agree that being a steward is a thankless job. I do take my hat off to you for sticking with it. One thing, that made me quit and I ll use the word quit was the extra time it took. We as drivers are strapped for time. Being a stewart requires more time, yes you are on the clock, but that didn't matter to me. In the mornings and dont get me wrong I gave my 110% would have to stay behind with the accused in the sups office while all the other drivers rolled on out. I believe, now(we have staggered start times) the steward punches in like 10 or 15 minutes before start time depending on the grievances. After attending to my shop steward duties I would have to play catch up on my air and delivers. I have aquired many short cuts on my route so I easily made up the time and then some. Wink Wink . Red, I do apologize. I prefer not to go the confrontational route,but may have slipped back into it to a degree. About representing the newbie driver in his first 40 days. When I started it was 30.
