[QUOTE="tomixx1199, post: 2173872, member: 62910"] Just for clarification How does an informal discussion help me? My impression is that its something they are required to hear me out on but can dismiss and pretend it didn't happen. They have been allowing higher seniority to pick jobs within small sort, So either it is allowed and I should receive the same benefit or it is not and I can put a stop to higher seniority people picking jobs they want? (SSLAW is a air pressurized machine that scans packages and spits out labels right onto the said packages, on a fast moving belt, typically at a rate of 3000-4500 packages per hour, the job I was disciplined in is sorting all the letters and small packages that move by on that belt after the SSLAW process into 8 different lines + special things like ECS, HOLD, HP ect.) If I say that I am inadequate for the job and asked to continue doing it, only to be reprimanded for failing to perform quality work. Would I be able to show that as a moral issue next time? I understand that a steward disagreeing with me is not immediately wrong, however with several other employees agreeing on the steward's poor quality, as well as the fact that the steward never does anything to support the union workers other than an occasional "Hey [supervisor name] why are you working?!?!" Just feels like it allows the steward to remain at the job they want and not have to deal with issues from the employer side. Another example to add is when I asked what it takes for a supervisor to be allowed to do hourly work. The reply was "one person calling in or not showing up" is this true? it seems like they could always get away with work with a rule like that. As I said I end up working in the unload for the entire shift while other employees that are considered junior in relation to my standing get to go back to small sort or never leave at all. And yes all of us have the same qualifications. [/QUOTE]
