Stewards asked to sign paper, by Union

[BrownTexas]

This last general meeting, Stewards were asked to sign a paper that stated our duties as a steward. Since when has the oath we took in front of all members at the general meeting not good enough?

What are the differences between the oath and what you were asked to sign? Is there anything on the form that you feel should not fall under the duties of being a steward?

Always told not to sign anything from the company, unless the state requires it. Just found it odd that the union would take this stance. Was also told "failure to sign means you aren't willing to abide by what is in print" which is beyond untrue.

Was there anything in there that was contrary to either your oath or your duties as a steward?

What oath?
We never took an oath. Ever.

I guess I am presuming he's talking about the one when you become a Teamster member at your local meeting. None of us took an oath.

You actually have stewards training or workshops?

I never took an oath. I'd like to know what all it entails though

Some of the BAs need to sign a paper stating they know what their duties are and that they'll honestly do them.

I can't say that I would necessarily think it's a bad thing though...

Have you looked at your bylaws. Stewards should take an oath but signing something is a little odd.

I was trained but I'm in a good local.

You take an oath and say you won't bring reproach upon any member. Yata yata yata

I'd have no problem with that! I fight for me and my members rights. Maybe if they did that in my local it would weed out the sell outs ...

Remember you have to take baby steps at the beginning. Longevity will give your local more respect.
