[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 819731, member: 484"] 1 Conduct yourself above his level of communication. IF he yells and pitches a fit, walk away and file. 2 Even if he treats you disrespectfully, dont retaliate in kind. All that will do is put both of you in the wrong. Two wrongs never produces anything of value. 3 After a while of knowing they can not intimidate you, you will end up with a working relationship with the center manager. That is not to say you will be a yes man for him, its that he will know when you go to him, you are serious, and should be treated with respect. Respect is hard to demand. But when you show respect, even when they dont deserve it, its hard for them to not be back. As for filing with sups working, if the center manager is getting heat from above, tell him you would gladly not file, just keep his part time sup from working. Tell him to walk onto the belt and have his hands in his pocket. Do not remove hands until out of the work area. That would solve the problem. Now, because you are a new part time steward, they will try to feel you out. They will try to set the stage for the next encounter, and beyond. Your conduct so far was fine, and your notifying the BA was the right thing to do. So I think you should be very proud of yourself. There are many full time stewards that have been around a long time that could learn from your example. d [/QUOTE]
