[QUOTE="BigUnionGuy, post: 2390361, member: 4992"] :biggrin: This is a touchy subject with me. My Local's policy is to "document" the effort made, to provide the grievant an opportunity to be present at any step of the procedure. Kind of a CYA for liability reasons. For the most part, drivers (package and feeder) will be present and Local hearings are scheduled prior to their start time. Part-timers are a different story. We stopped scheduling them prior to their start because so few would come in early. Now we hear them during the sorts. The company will radio their supe and ask them if they want to attend off the clock. Still a low percentage. If they don't show.... the first time the grievance is put on hold. The second time, it is withdrawn with rights. (to be possibly heard at a later date and avoid any issues of timeliness) A previous agent ran into this issue (along with personal problems) and as a result.... I had to clear 325+ grievances, that had sat for up to a year long. Fortunately, the Labor guy was understanding of the situation and we knocked them out in about 3 months time. So.... there's that. I wasn't trying to contradict your previous post, but maybe offer some hope to the OP. I don't understand how other Locals will hear cases, without the grievant present to offer testimony and pertinent facts. It's to easy for Labor to simply disagree and offer their version of the events. As an aside.... my Locals grievance forms, have the the same verbiage that Bubble posted. -Bug- [/QUOTE]
