[QUOTE="ExPreloader, post: 1175732, member: 48773"] We have a HUGE problem with Sups working. Our problem is everyone who used to say something got sick of harassment and left, no one taught the new hires about their rights, and the good shop stewards either went full time or finally got fired. With our low hours, early start times, and low pay we cannot get any decent people to stay and our new hire turnover went from months to days. We are so understaffed, we have supervisors working every day. Our last BA had a heart attack and the only this our new guy has actually done is state that seniority means nothing for part timers and won't even return our new steward's phone calls. After a lot of grievances they have a few guys pullin doubles off the night sort, but I am working my vacation next week because we don't have coverage for normal summer vacations and I really need money. Our building is a nightmare. On a side note I am working with our steward on setting up informal meetings for new hires to educate them and when I get back from basic and tech school I am going to become a steward. I have been part-time for 6 years, drove seasonal, drive air, and have done every part-time job in our building. I have seen this place go to hell and I am afraid this is nation- wide. Bottom line, nothing happens without filing greivances and for every 1 person willing to do so, 10 more don't know any better and another 10 just don't care. Sometimes you have to fight for your coworkers. [/QUOTE]
