[QUOTE="union4life, post: 2157819, member: 35190"] Having never worked in an "organized" environment, you will be doing yourself and your co-workers a tremendous service by getting involved now and not waiting until you are in some sort of situation where you are only relying on third party information. Obey the rules. Don't break the law or partake in actions you know are against company policy. Even if a supervisor instructs you to do something you have been trained and certified to do a different way. You can't go wrong by doing it right. Get your hands on your contract with supplement. Read it. Ask questions of your Stewards and Business Agents when you see them. Attend all of your Local's meetings and take notes. Never bring reproach on a fellow member. If you have an issue with someone you work with, talk to that person one on one and get it resolved. Don't let it turn to resentment. You are part of something bigger than a single person now. The Teamsters before you paved the way. Don't forget them and what price they paid. Be proud of it and work hard at your craft. [/QUOTE]
