Is there any language in the contract stating how long it takes to get paid for 95 grievance. Asked my steward and he said it is being paid. Going on 7 months, ridiculous.
We had a snow day grievance (8hr) filed last September that was not paid until July.Is there any language in the contract stating how long it takes to get paid for 95 grievance. Asked my steward and he said it is being paid. Going on 7 months, ridiculous.
Is there any language in the contract stating how long it takes to get paid for 95 grievance ?
There is no limit.
The ten (10) working day period shall begin to run when the Labor Department representative agrees to the settlement, or is notified by the Union or management team of the settlement."
They drag their feet hoping to Issue you a warning letter. They way they can try to play " Lets make a deal".There lays the problem. We are so backed up that it can take up to a year before they are processed.

How do you do that when there are 70 grievances/hearings/arbitration in the pipeline? We file a lot in my center. But I totally agree with you. The waiting game does get some drivers to not even bother because of the wait.That's ridiculous.
Over 30 days.... and the problem needs to be addressed. Officially.

There are times where you get a check and it's a combined check of like 9-10 9.5 filings.If you are not in a Panel system, and rely on arbitration....
There is the problem.
But, a year ?
I'd be talking to the NLRB.

They are guilty on every filing. They just keep denying them until they can no longer and are forced to pay. It's their only move.99.9%.... of our 9.5 issues, are settled at the first Local level hearing.
The company either violated the driver, or they didn't.
There is a not even a discussion about what caused it.
Violated ?
You're paid.

I have seven 9.5 grievances dating back to late April, when the language went into effect. None have yet to be heard at the local level.
On an unrelated issue, I have 2 labor charges on file that are still pending after 13 months. They were deferred to the "grievance process"
They took a year make it to the state panel, where my business agent settled against my wishes without the grievances being presented to the panel.
The whole process tends to be a gigantic "filibuster", designed to discourage members from enacting the grievance or labor charge procedure in the future...and it works.
Why haven't they been heard ?
It only takes a phone call, to schedule a Local level hearing.
What does your Steward and Local say ?
How does that happen ? When you are present ?
You were there.... right ?
Please tell me, you showed up.
Unless, your BA missed the "cutoff" date to slate the grievance for the Panel....
It only takes another month.
No guts, no glory.
Never.... ever.... let your BA.... make decisions for you.
Sam, never did.
The grievance form gives the BA the authority to do just that.
Explain how "I let them" settle my grievances, in my absence and against my wishes?Only.... if you let them.
