weak union

[Lead Belly]

Me would be me and steward would be my steward. Also one of my best friends.

I get told a lot of stuff about what goes down at the center hearings. A lot of it is pretty shady.


I'm not going to sit here and lie and tell you the union is terrible and worthless but I'm also not going to turn a blind eye to the shady that goes on in many locals behind members backs.

If in fact your best friend this stewards allegations are factual he has a moral and legal responsibility to do something about it or he shouldn't be a steward.

I think posting facts from the op are in order. If there is nothing factual I call a point of order on this thread and declare he or she a troll.

Hearing no response, or rebuttal from the OP....


I would make a motion to dismiss the nonsense.

Can I get a "second" ?

Second.

If it is indeed a fact;


What happened....

When you brought it up, at the next Local membership meeting ??

Do you have the results, of the charges you filed, for mis-representation ??

After all, your Stewards testimony would be relevant.


It would help me, to know these things.

Honestly this is exactly what should be done and it's been discussed.

I've watched 5 stewards quit in the last 3 years. Every one with the same reason. "I just couldn't deal with the BA anymore."

Second.

Hearing no opposition...

The motion carries.


On to "new business".

Who in the do you think you are?

Brownslave is spot on-----grievances get traded regularly----it is a part of doing business.

How do you know that's happened ?

You must have some shady Local officials.

I'd like to know who they are.

You know.

Not where I'm from.

We're not from where you're from.

Can you post something that makes this factual? Are you a steward or a BA or Did you hear it from a guy who heard it from a guy who heard it from a guy???

He doesn't need to prove anything to anyone on here much less people in other locals who can't relate or won't believe it no matter what's posted. Looks like people are venting.

Like I have always said....

"You might not like what I say.... But, I always tell the truth".


I "run and gun" hard against the company for everyone.

It doesn't matter if you don't like me.


The funny thing is....

Even the members that don't like me, still come to me for advice.

And I help them every time.

That's just me.

You know darn well it's hard to make NLRB charges to stick against the union representation and the NLRB attorneys confirmed this many times.
FTR is given a narrow window to validate.

How is it that you replied to his post this way?
Showing your true support?
You know the truth. That's what makes responding to other's "need" of "facts" is worthless.

I used to think the same thing until I became steward and realized it doesn't work like that......at least not in my local

 

[Indecisi0n]

It's been confirmed: maybe.

Ive talked to 2 guys that were on panel and quit because of back door deals so the union panel does deal you off its a fact.

One Christmas chief steward gave up 20 g in griev to get a guys job back for putting overweights in his board for more credit.
