[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1208746, member: 42270"] The TA includes language that allows for the removal of the CHSP union co-chair and any bargaining unit members on the committee, even though this has been an "unwritten right" of locals for some time now. While the union co-chair gig is a pretty cushy job for a PT'er (five hours/day doing office work and safe work methods observations), it's a magnet for pro-company clowns and spineless jackasses that essentially has little/no power outside of what a rank-and-file member or shop steward can do in regards to safety; ie. filing safety grievances, calling OSHA, etc. Still, if the co-chair doesn't recognize they are heading a committee that was bargained for by the union and should thus be pursuing the interests of the union (demanding safety issues be addressed, holding management accountable whenever/however they can, informing members that safety comes ahead of numbers) rather than the interests of management (pushing DOK especially when a Keter audit is coming down the pipe, harassing members over dumb [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG], etc etc.) then they need to go and can be removed by the BA if enough hourlies make some noise.
