[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1035166, member: 42554"] Another important Steward function is being well-versed in the different Contracts & Supplements, as well as Memorandums of Understanding and some unconventional contracts such as Feeder work rules. A lot of time can be spent correcting misinformation from well-meaning but misguided "experts" that might never have read the Contract(s) cover to cover. They might even quote language that while they believe it is in the Contract they cannot find it when pressed. One common mistake is to not realize that Article 40 trumps all other agreements unless specifically stated (see Article 40, preamble). Another is failing to understand how language relates to the situation, both in the literal sense and it's intent. A good example is Article 40 (1)(j)(2) where a careful reading should have the understanding that a package driver being [I]forced[/I] to work a Holiday such as the Day after Thanksgiving would be paid a the supplemental rate (overtime) but someone [I]volunteering [/I]to work this day is paid straight time.
