[QUOTE="canon, post: 166927, member: 8423"] The worst will be you lose and stay in unload. Management trying to get you to withdraw the grievance is indicative of them knowing they might lose. You've already said your steward is involved, there's no reason management wouldn't work thru him/her. They're trying to get you to drop it before they have to honor the outcome. And before you think your steward might not work for you simply because you two don't get along, most good stewards know they have to remove personal bias from the situation so they don't establish something known as "past practice" which will be harmful to those they [I]do[/I] like. The outcome will be known to the shop, and if he intentionally throws you under the bus others will have to live with that precedence. I'm willing to bet there is already a past practice which accomodates your request, or the steward would would have told you to forget it. Remain respectful to both... it's just a grievance. Have to agree with cachsux on the point about them not wanting to lose a good worker. If you lose, you won't be the first at ups to do so. I think past practice will prevail and you'll be saying goodbye to those trailers in a short period of time. Do your job safely and don't sweat it. [/QUOTE]
