[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 412623, member: 12912"] Dillweed ( and anyone reading !) If you file a grievance, it's best to first request that the supervisor in question, at the time of incident, get help for staffing to releive him of doing bargaining unit work. Kindly remind him/her that you will file for all hours worked if it is not remedied. Usually this works and they'll get on the radio and find someone. If not, then you can go ahead and file. This is not a passive-aggressive approach that will at least give both sides some respect. If you watch the supervisor work - then file without requesting the supervisor stops working, or giving any type of warning or consideration this will cause disrespect waves in the operation. this is my experience anyway. My style is: I try to at least give fairness, because it's possible that several union guys booked off or whatever reason that caused staffing issues for a period of time, even if the volume is down. Obviously two hours sounds like friend/T sup running the p/t sup into the ground,- rather than book-offs - because he can to make numbers, but I wasn't there so I don't know. Anyway regardless of approach, the center manager would likely want to either (1) review your employee file and start threatening warnings for previous infractions (2) ask , to reduce the hours work to under two hours , because two or more equals an automatic four hours (3) give you hell, how dare you, etc etc and a few other less-likely scenerios ..... anyway, if its (1), make sure you have that steward present. and (2) the center manager will find a steward for Good luck, and make those hours even if they're cheating them from you. Go about it your way, just giving some advice from having filed and won before. [/QUOTE]
