[QUOTE="Cole, post: 185818, member: 9507"] See article 17 regarding back pay and penalty pay. As far as the talks about the bad steward, I have to say that's pretty cowardly when you say no one wants the position. The contract is clear in Article 37 regarding excessive overtime. The individual must make it known he/she doesn't want the ot, and filing on it is the wat to do that, once you have spoken to management about it. There are people who want to work the ot, it is up to you the driver to step up on this issue, so the steward cab process the grievance etc...I have seen weak stewards that only look out for themselves, but when the membership gets involved, and takes action in the way of voting that person, out things can change, but if you're excepting him to hold your hands and do everything for you, that person can easily get burnt out, or complacent. You can lead a horse to water but can't make him drink. When I was part-time and driving air we went through the bs imho criminal stealing of our hours, and had to fight like crazy. There is better language now, but weak if not enforced. You can file a lawsuit if the union fails to get your money for you/ fails to represent you. You can seek 2 1/2 times owed you, but you pretty much need to use the union first. Don't be afraid to stand up for your blood and sweat. Alot of times a manager is trying to look good on paper and doesn't turn in the hours. If caught they will fire them usually. You did the work demand to get your pay. Keep up with your hours and check and make sure it is proper. Show your fellow workers their guaranteed hours, and become a unit to be reckoned with. I ask that this thread be questions, suggestions, etc... [/QUOTE]
