[QUOTE="twoweeled, post: 2164603, member: 27108"] Yes, it is better than having supervisors doing the work. It's just not as good as staffing correctly. Sad, but what your saying is exactly true. They would/do the work themselves if no one is around to see them. Filing grievances (and getting them to pay) will curve the supervisors from working. Then you sometimes encounter the problem, the local doesn't aggressively go after getting the grievance paid. I know there are problems with this. It's a constant fight at work, now. It isn't going to get any better. It's going to get worse. Yeah, I understand that some people really just gotta do, what they gotta do. Be it because of commute times, kids, or whatever. But I really believe, most of us know the ones who are just showing up early to work off the clock. We all know how management likes to talk about business when they know your not on the clock. Most guys don't have the nerve to tell management; I'm not on the clock yet. Do you want me to punch it"? Suddenly, that discussion isn't so important to management. It's a chess game at work. I understand the guy who's new, just starting out and hasn't passed probation. He's gotta make it first. Aside from the exceptions - I've never understood the thinking of working for free. [/QUOTE]
