Like talking drivers out of filing 9.5 s because we were all heavy that week sounds fishy
Has anyone noticed stewards becoming weak all of a sudden?

what a glorious thing to be able to work for a thriving company and discuss ways to have your union reps more aggressively attack your company while so many others are out of work.

I was told that our local does not have any "runnings" for stewards under our new leadership. It is all hand-picking.

We have had it go either way. Our last steward was elected but when the BA appointed an alternate the elected steward quit. So the alternate then became steward by default. The elected steward quitting was the best thing that could have happened for us.I was told that our local does not have any "runnings" for stewards under our new leadership. It is all hand-picking.

In the IAM our stewards have super seniority in a lay off situation. Hows that work in the teamsters?

There is no super seniority described in the national contract but some supplements do have it. New England supplement does for example. Not sure about which other regions.

Same in Central States. Seniority is seniority. In our local stewards are elected. If there is a need for another steward between elections he/she must be nominated at a union meeting. Then the BA and stewards present decide if he/she shall become a steward.

The most frequent and loudest criticisms always seem to come from the least willing to step forward.

If more drivers would file 9.5s we would have more drivers working.what a glorious thing to be able to work for a thriving company and discuss ways to have your union reps more aggressively attack your company while so many others are out of work.
Look I'm sorry that you sups did not get your raises. I'm sorry that the company you bleed for lied to you and said that they might have to close the doors because of low volume. And I'm sorry that you have to jump in every thread just to slay the union.

I'm just wondering why it takes so damn long for us to get a replacement once the steward steps down. I guess its the fact that the union hall calls the shots and we are like 50 miles away from it. I think we should be able to just hold our election and send the results to the hall without having to wait on them to find the time to come down.

What about center manager taking 19 stops off union steward and del himself so they wont be missed sounds fishy

File a grievance on it and get your self paid. Use another steward, that is unless of course some drivers don't have any stones themselves!
