[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 2173880, member: 42270"] 99% of the problems/contract violations I deal with are solved informally outside of the grievance procedure depending on which manager I'm dealing with. If we have a good working relationship, I raise the issue informally and it gets fixed if management is able/authorized to do so. If I'm working with a :censored:ty manager, I just hit him with paper (much less effective and takes longer to fix problems.) That's a tough one. Are they "picking" jobs or is management just knowingly putting their favorites in the spots they know they want? It's going to depend on the language in your supplement/rider, probably under any articles about seniority. You're reaching -- no. What do you mean by "being reprimanded for failing to perform quality work"? Were you disciplined for failing to adhere to company methods and procedures (typically "Failure to Follow") or for production? I'd advise you to read Article 37 in the NMA about "a fair day's work for a fair day's pay." No, it's not true. The company has an obligation to exhaust all local practices including calling in double shifts, having other shifts work over on OT, etc or follow the language for double shifting list per Article 3, Section 7 before having sups do bargaining unit work. They are only covered under an Act of God (massive ice storm causing most of the shift to call out, etc.) which involves the company contacting the local union to notify them they have declared emergency conditions. Someone calling in sick is not an Act of God. You and the rest of your coworkers should start going to your local's membership meetings and air these concerns with your BA. You need to grieve that under the appropriate article in your supplement. [/QUOTE]
