[QUOTE="705red, post: 680663, member: 5229"] Can you please show me the timeline that is bargained? There is a timeline that a grievance must be filed within, but nothing saying that the company must agree to pay the grievance in a timely manner. WHat happens is a grievance gets filed, the union sets meetings, the company cancels every few backing the grievances up. Labor comes in and makes small talk and argues each grievance as it would put the comapny out of business. This goes on and on and than it gets scheduled for panel where it gets held and athn deadlocked. Which now means if the grievance is worthy it starts the arbitration process. If you have a good grievance and UPS refuses to sign off acknowledging it, its possible that your case could take up to and even over 2 years to go through the whole grievance process. UPS does this to discourage people from filing, but most of us are lifers and can wait because we will be here when the grievance gets paid, and hopefully with penalty pay. I have a grievance filed for myself where UPS sent me for a fitness for duty in early September and did not pay me for the day, or at least the time I spent at the clinic. With penalty pay my grievance now is at almost $3,000 becuase they couldnt pay me 8 hours. I hope it gets dragged out for another 1 and a half, that would be about $11,500 by that point. [/QUOTE]
