what is the point of filing a grievance.

the grievance procedure takes too long.

It's what we have and you have to learn how to work within this system. You could work at fed ex where they have no system.

Or, you could work at a center where the union doesn't give a crap. The grass is always greener; be content with what you have.

If you dont put it on paper..... then the company did nothing wrong to begin with......

we try to hear our grievances within 5 days from the time they are filed.rarely do they go over 7 unless a supe or b.a are off or on vacation,etc. i am thankful for the right to do so.regardless of the time its a privledge many would love.

What kind of grievance do you have.It does take time in some smaller centers. I here a lot of people say that but I really think they don't want to file. On some grievances it's better to wait and see what the company does about problem

Everything takes time. If you like the Status Quo than don't file if you want things to change then file...

If you don't want to file because the time it takes to get a solution you have no right to complain about the problems...

I guess you don't vote in elections either. Democracy takes to long, we need descisive, immediate, swift handed action right?

I've got plenty of time.
I don't anticipate retiring for quite awhile.
I just keep filing and filing and before you know it, I've got dozens docketed to the state panel every month.
It can be quite lucrative.

I've yet to had a settlement of my grievances. Since last Sep I've been filing Art46,48,&49. My center which has about 70routes it happens quite often Griev. don't get settled for about a year. No rush from me since my double time remedy sought is only going to get bigger with raises.

The wheels of justice turn very slow

 

[leastbest]

The purpose of the grievance is to create a paper trail.

File and refile every time and you can show a pattern. Then every hearing gets easier. "I've filed five times for this problem and it isn't being addressed!"

After some time they will address your concerns like 9.5, etc. because they know you are serious.

He point to me is the company should and must honor its employees regardless. When the issue is very important, then it would behoove them to treat it as such and not to undermind the matters at hand.

Ask anyone who is on working termination if they think the process is too slow (especially if it might stick).

Compared to the Court system or Legislative system our grievance process is lightning fast.
