[QUOTE="magoo57, post: 271337, member: 4661"] H. Harry. I halfway agree with you. A supe has got to address the attendance issue prior to working. Many is the time a shop stew has seen me working( I'm a p/t supe. Pleased to meet you) and I told him to go into the office and another supe should be calling the people and seeing who would come in. If the stew saw that I really was trying to bring in help(usually at startup) he and I could work together for a solution. I have only been greived for one hour in 12 years as a supervisor. The really good stews would ask about the persons who did not come into work. "n/c n/s" and then he and I would negotiate from there. The real problem is not that supes are so evil as to want to screw Teamsters out of their rightful work.. the p/t supervisors are so scared of confrontation that it is easier to their psyches to work and then be grieved than to write up a coworker who has no excuse for being absent. More than once I have told my people "Be a man and tell me you are going to be absent. Don't screw the entire team." (Nothing sexist, Helenof CA. Ladies do not go absent without calling). And teamwork is so often the other thing absent here. From baby boomers on down ,the two or three generations of "me-me me" have taken its toll on our company's attendance. A team can operate without a coach, but a coach/supe cannot operate without a team. If there is not a team, then you only have prisioners and can expect regular escapes. No one should be a supe without 3 years with the company. Other than that, I still scratch my head on this lack of teamwork that the company seems to manifest. [/QUOTE]
