[QUOTE="cpio, post: 147159, member: 7535"] It's good to hear one of my fellow union members say that. What goes on at my place in regards to abuse of that section of the contract is just insane. And yes, when you casually ask a part-time supervisor the answer is always 1. "So-and-so called out," 2. "So-and-so no-call/no-showed," 3. "It's ok, I do this all the time in front of the shop stewards and they don't say anything about it." 4. "I do this when the union reps are here and they don't say anything about it." 5. "So-and-so manager guy told me I have to." If your part-time supe says any of the above he is [B]lying[/B]. His Quality Performance Review weighs things like how well his department has performed as of late. Having an extra person working speeds things up and gets union members off the clock faster, so these part-time supes aren't "helping" or "filling in," they're trying to increase their bonuses. A supervisor is only supposed to work when any available people have been called in earlier or called in for a second shift, and when all other established local practices have been exhausted, per the contract, or there is a [B]bona fide emergency[/B]. According to my shop steward, the company denies almost all of these kinds of grievances at my hub because of the aforementioned excuses, and the ones they don't deny they just pay out on so the incidents don't get documented. Any shop stewards reading my post, please weigh in. [/QUOTE]
