I know which thread you are talking about and that guy PM'd me thinking we were in the same local, but we are not. We have sort of the same situation here - we have one part time steward, and he is a shifter. Well when we go to settle our grievances, he's always extremely busy and then the center managers will go home and it never gets settled, at least for the clerks. This is because during reload, the ECS clerks are part of the center management, not part of the hub management like the preload ECS clerks. Weird.
However, I get around this by filing with the 22.3 steward in the mornings, I just slip my grievances in his locker and he always calls me for details. I've been very lucky to befriend him in the past and I've had to come in sometimes in the mornings when he's there to talk to him and settle some issues, but I don't mind this. Some of the ECS clerks however, cant do this due to day jobs. One of the clerks is going through this now - basically had to settle his own grievance (with the guidance of the steward) with the center manager himself because the center manager would just go home before the shifter had time after the sort was down to meet with him.
I don't have any online links for the contract, sorry.
