[QUOTE="turdburglar, post: 1035230, member: 41722"] [b]Re: "Work as Directed" and Production Standards[/b] Although my steward does not file supervisors working grievances himself, I really feel like he has the best interests of the bargaining unit employees at heart. He did not dissuade me from filing harassment grievances. In fact, he told me to file the retaliation grievance based on what the full-time supervisor told him (namely, that if I have so much time to file grievances, that she will move me to another load area so that I cannot file), and he said to list him as a witness. The funny thing is that another full-time supervisor, when told by my full-time supervisor about the "problems" that she had been having with me, told my full-time supervisor that it is probably her fault seeing as how my name had never come up before in terms of disciplinary action. I have actually (jokingly) considered becoming a steward, since a couple of people that I had been explaining the contract and supervisors working grievances to thought that I would make a good steward. I might seriously start looking into assisting the steward in the future. My work record was clean before I started filing except for an attendance problem I had more than 5 years ago when I started. Otherwise, I have not had as much as a warning letter in 4 years. I will file harassment grievances tomorrow. I do not know if they can indeed begin to discipline me for not "working as directed", when "working as directed" is production harassment, but if I get so much as a warning letter over it, I will file charges with the NLRB. The sad part is that 3 other preloaders on the metro that I now work on who had been filing supervisors working grievances were intimidated into stopping, presumably because of the same things that I am now being subjected to. However, I have already decided that I will not stop filing supervisors working grievances. This will end with either my full-time supervisor being fired, or with me being fired. Period. [/QUOTE]
