[QUOTE="happybob, post: 597843, member: 4724"] Please don't ever accuse the union of pocketing that money, unless you can prove it, that's a very serious charge. The member has to make the decision of what's in his/her best interest. As the above poster mentioned, the NLRB would love to get a hold of something like this. One has to understand the reasoning behind a BA wanting to settle these type grievances, and after it was explained to me I settled some of mine at a reduced amount. That choice was given to me. The cost of putting on a case at the panel is not born by just UPS, it also costs the union quite a bit of money as well, any yes, we do pay a decent amount of dues to help pay these costs, but saving the union money isn't a bad thing. It is the MEMBERS choice. If a BA doesn't ask the member to accept a reduced amount, the member has to make a decision to stand up for his rights. Maybe this member should speak with the BA and let him know he's not happy with the reduced amount. Maybe if the BA explained things to the member, instead of just making the decision for him/her the whole thing wouldn't have been posted here. [/QUOTE]
