[QUOTE="cynic, post: 1179819, member: 48621"] Benefits - you have involved representation by your steward any time you may get into trouble. Think you're a model employee and won't get into trouble? Don't be so naive. You'll eventually misload or have some other performance related issue that you'll get written up for - at which point you calmly ask your PT sup for your union steward. I will not RTS a single thing - please get me my steward so he/she can RTS for me. To me that is my primary benefit. It is protecting my job and primarily my health benefits. Consider your dues insurance if you cannot see the benefit yet - I too work in an environment with LIGHT membership. Downside - None. The fact your PT supervisor won't tell you anything or give you insight on any issue is not surprising - I am amazed by how little PT sup's know about the contract. I am of the opinion that FT sup's and management want to keep the PT sup's that way and lean on them for things that are, by contract, wrong to do. It's the mushroom theory of management - keep 'em in the dark and feed them lots of bull[IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]. [/QUOTE]
