Not only is it true but exciting to follow. They actually bet on it. So last person working gets the kitty. So they have to find a location in the building where there is enough work to scan but no one recognize you.

So keep making side deals with company B***h stewards and it will eventually come back to you and that steward needs to be taken out back and reminded of what his job is!!!!

What exactly would you do with the steward out back? I thought he already did enough of that to get his votes to become a steward. Anyhow it's your brotherhood, I'm glad you all are so close......

Too bad the relationship wasn't better.
I can see the value of management actually doing the work of the people they manage. By doing it routinely, they can see first hand what has to happen when things go haywire and they may actually realize that creating more stress and tension is only making the situation worse.
Betting on it is extremely bad judgement.

Funny? I don't see how instructing underlings to be dishonest to give the impression your socks are clean can be funny. It reminds me of Bernie Madoff. Look how well that worked out. Karma gonna git ya even if you hide from the union members.

Keep a running diary of what is happening to you at work. Document conversations with management and who is your witnesses. Don't be lulled into thinking this is over just because nothing is coming your way now. Watch for the salts and ask other workers to keep an eye on you when management is around you. Doesn't hurt to be cautious. Good luck.

I guess it depends on one's perspective.
I don't see the humor in all the management bashing that union members do but many think that is amusing.
Funny is in the eye of the beholder.

I have to agree with you in spirit in that yes, so far as finding humor in bashing, it does go both ways. The funny I was referring to was the admission of an integrity lapse on the part of socks. I consider each member, or for that matter UPSers in general (mgmt included) to have some integrity unless they prove otherwise. I believe that anyone whe decides to go the low road does so at great risk to us all. Lack of integrity is a slippery slope and training with it as a tool is foolhardy for anyone. It's like cancer, and it does not stop where you draw an imaginary line. How can we justify dishonest behavior with each other, or find humor in it, and expect the people we train that way to have integrity with the customers and the rest of their responsibilities. That's what I question with regard to thinking any of that story is funny.

When they get done TPing all the neighbors houses, they soap the windows of all the cars lining the streets and driveways.

Gee, I wish I was a supe and could have as much fun as they do!!!!

I think socks is pretty funny. It takes a lot of talent to stoke everyones fire with posts like his,in between his pimple popping and chronic masturbating.

It's like the socks virus has infected this website. I wonder if there is a program to rid us of this pestulance.

Maybe if we throw him in the clothes dryer he will just disappear like most socks.

First what I would do is give all of your warning letters to your steward. Then if you didnt have any missorts go in the computer and write down that you didn't have any missorts. Then see if it's happened to other people. They could be and wouldn't suprise me only doing it to you because you file. It happened to my brother. It's a fair days work for a fair days pay. If you feel the steward isn't doing his job go to a different one. Or learn the contract well and become a steward.

Hi guys! Lets see......They told me I would be placed back on the committees the following week. So altogether I lost a week of not being on the committee. After two days back on the committee The manager that i filed against found out and said that I wont be getting paid for those days and that I wasn't going to be on them anymore ( start of the night ). I of course told my sup that I wouldn't let him get away with that and that I would at least get paid for those two days even if I had to take it to the top management. Which was of course told to him as soon as I walked away........By the end of the night The manager I filed against came to me and said that I would be back on with a 30 day trial type thing. It kinda makes me laugh because if they think that's all it takes for me to be quiet about whats going on then they have another thing coming

I took everyone's advice and Im writing down everything that they say with the date and time and also requesting my stewart before talking or asking questions. I also asked my stewart when the next class would be available and for a union hand book to study. Im the best Employee they have on that shift and im not going to let them walk all over me or anyone else if I can help it..........thanks to you guys again for all your help

Ill keep you updated
