[QUOTE="705red, post: 961420, member: 5229"] People, the grievance process is there to benefit the employee in the long run. It is a long and dragged out process that was put into place back in the 40's I believe. Prior to the NLRB, Taft Hartley etc Unions resolved their grievances by striking the companies that violated the contract. It is costly to handle grievances and depending on the size of your local it could be delayed/priortized in importance. Is it more important to hear/arbitrate a greivance for a persons job? Or a contract violation as a sup working grievance? Im sure some of teh complaints that are coming out here are probably from members in right to work states where the locals dont have the resorces to arbitrate every grievance. Even to win a greivance it costs money, attorney fees, sending reps to national panels to hear the cases etc. People like to think that its an easy process, file and its over. But its not, its take 2 sides to agree that the violation happened and until the company agrees it goes through the process, filing it with manager, labor rep and Union get together, local hearing, maybe a local panel, national panel and up to arbitration. There are many of steps involved to win a grievance. You want to help speed this up as much as possible??? Make sure your who, what, where, why and all information is handed over to the steward when he/she files. Statements, witnesses any thing factual, no hear say or what ifs, facts only! I suggest that people research a little and understand the process that was put in place. Jace that was a pretty low shot at Dilli too, you should apoligize for it!!! IMO [/QUOTE]
