[QUOTE="Unify251, post: 1302103, member: 52222"] Opportunits or Steward...hmmmm [B]Opportunism[/B] is the conscious policy and practice of taking selfish advantage of circumstances – with little regard for principles, or with what the consequences are for others. Opportunist actions are expedient actions guided primarily by self-interested motives. The term can be applied to individual humans and living organisms, groups, organizations, styles, behaviours, and trends. A [B]union representative[/B], [B]union steward[/B], or [B]shop steward[/B] is an employee of an organization or company, who represents and defends the interests of her/his fellow employees but who is also a labor union official. rank-and-file members of the union hold this position voluntarily (through democratic election by fellow workers or sometimes by appointment of a higher union body) while maintaining their role as an employee of the firm. As a result, the union steward becomes a significant link and conduit of information between the union leadership and rank-and-file workers. The duties of a union steward vary according to each labor union's constitutional mandate for the position. In general, most union stewards perform the following functions: [LIST] [*]Monitor and enforce the provisions of the collective bargaining agreement (labor contract) to ensure both the firm and union worker are not violating the terms of the agreement. [*]Ensure that the firm is in compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations. [*]Represent and defend fellow workers whom the firm believes violated company policy or the terms and conditions of the collective bargaining agreement, often through the grievance process. [*]Communicate and disseminate official union policy, memos and directives to workers in the shop. [*]Popularize and promote union consciousness and values in the workplace. [/LIST] So what powers is she actually gaining? How is she taking advantage? What are her self interested motives? Or is she simply doing what a union steward is suppose to do? [/QUOTE]
