Nice stance, typical of the bottom barrel supervisors at UPS.
All stewards are granted TIME ON THE CLOCK to investigate grievances. This is contract language that YOU cannot manipulate nor deny that. So if you want to play the game, play it, and act like an overgrown child ON the clock.
Do not imply what is correct and what isn't when YOU aren't willing to play the game "correctly" to begin with.
I can manipulate anything I want. That is what I do. And guess what, you have to deal with it. Actually you have to like it because I want you to. I get what I want you don't. I punish employees for doing union buisness on the clock. Because who cares about union buisness.. You guys have no buisness: work as instructed and give your dues to the highest bidder.
