[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 242730, member: 11234"] This is precisely what high seniority hourlies attempt to tell new supervisors to confuse them. They generally hope the supervisor hasn't read the contract (and I suggest a supervisor should read it as often as the stewards do). Unless there's a supplement in 705red's area that's different than where I am, there IS a provision in the contract for management working. The bar it sets is pretty high, you have to be able to show that no hourly within 1 hour of the building was available to perform the job, but it's there. The steward I described in an earlier post said exactly those words above, then filed, then the union lost the grievance at arbitration. Moreover, he tried to instruct ME to quit working. I told him I would have to respectfully decline his request, and for 10 seconds he actually didn't know what to say. Apparently the supervisors in that building did whatever he said... Anyhow, this is the type of attitude that prevents labor and management from working together better. I see the multiple posts about how certain individuals in management act inappropriately, and I deplore it. But there's quite a bit of unnecessary flak going the other way and let's not pretend there isn't. [/QUOTE]
