No, you did not answer the question about being under paid and what you would do about it.
The answer lies within the way that you and I approach our jobs.
I come in, do my job, shut up and go home. I help out when asked and offer if I am light or if I know another driver in my loop went out heavy. I have filed two grievances in 22 years--both were legitimate and both were paid. If I had been under paid I would have first sat down with my mgt team to try to resolve the issue in house. This was the case when I noticed that my paystub showed that I was short 45 hours of vacation pay. Turns out it was my anniversary year and they simply had not credited the hours. All it took was a simple payroll inquiry and the hours were on my next stub.. If that had failed I would have filed a grievance, as I would have if the under paid issue had not been resolved in house. No need to create unnecessary drama--there is a system in place to work out issues and it does not involve immediately filing a grievance, although that remedy is there if needed.
You come in with a much different attitude and demeanor and are suffering the consequences of that behavior. It is really that simple.
