[QUOTE="StevenB, post: 142023, member: 7548"] Speeddeemon do you have a steward? or a contract book? been to a meeting? What I'm trying to get at is... WE are the union! If your BA isn't spending time at your center I would bet it is becouse he/she either doesn't believe there are violations, they are not being filed, or you [U]do[/U] have a bad BA. Start here: If you see a contract violation report it to your steward. Your steward should file a grievance and you should have a local panel to try to resolve it. If unresolved your steward and BA should have the issue placed on the next panel agenda for your local. If your steward did not file the grievance or push for a local panel then you either need to help him/her ([URL="http://development04edu.teamster.org/roadtrip.htm"][U]here is a good starting point[/U][/URL]) or vote him out. Maybe you should run. If your BA is not responsive then contact your local. ([URL="http://www.teamster.org/about/localunions/localunionsites.asp"][U]You may find it here.[/U][/URL] ) or go to a meeting. I assure you they will listen to your concerns. I am a steward and I find that most issues are truly resolved in local panel. They know when they violate the contract and they don't want it to be documented. Additionally our BA has to travel aprox 200 miles to get to our center and he has never let me down. I call, he comes, that simple! I have his cell and home numbers. If I don't catch him he always returns my call promptly. Because of our distance I have also set up an occassional "local meeting" at a local restaraunt, not only does my BA show up to answer questions he also picks up the tab for breakfast. IMHO anyone that is criticizing the Teamsters now is either management, afraid to stand up for themselves, or are buying in to managements "you look the other way and I will too" B.S. [SIZE=4]The Teamsters are stronger than ever now.[/SIZE] Steve [/QUOTE]
