How fast are 9/5 grievances settled in your hub bld ect

The list is very effective in my building.

Is there a reason it takes so long other than to get a jab at the grievant?
Because there’s no incentive for them to settle in a reasonable amount of time
Need to have a penalty attached if it isn’t settled promptly. Something else that could have been negotiated in the best contract in the history of contracts

My BA is excellent, i;d put him up against anyone. he does this,the dates are set to hear grievances and a couple of days before the hearing the Labor manager says something along the lines of " due to unforeseen circumstances I have to cancel the hearing,please let me know when you are available to reschedule"Sure there is.
It's a problem with the BA or the Local.
You send them a certified letter stating "these are the dates I have available to hear grievances."
Failing to respond in a timely maner.... you slate them all for the next Panel and file
NLRB charges against the company. Do that once, and you will never have a problem again.
This is like Business Agent 101.

@728ups and I are out of the same local. What he’s saying is true. I’ve brought this up to the BA and the president, they are saying as long as UPS “tries” to meet with us to settle these, the National will just send them back to the local.No doubt that can happen.
But, that's why you send them a list of multiple dates.
If they cancel.... you send a follow up letter.
Dump a bunch of grievances on a Panel (without being heard locally) and the company
chairman will rip the local labor person a new one. Not to mention, the pending NLRB charge.

What exactly are the duties of a labor manager?
That’s good to hear, we have had rogue center managers who end up pissing off a good driver because he fired him on some bull charge. The driver gets his job back without a doubt, but he’s never the same again, management sometimes creates their own enemies.The labor manager and departments job is to work with the different local BAs to settle all grievances.
They also appear to be an intermediary between the local BA and the center manger and division manager.
As a supervisor, if I’m not sure how to approach a situation that may result in discipline... I’ll reach out to my labor manager.
