I have a couple questions, if you wouldn't mind answering them.
I'm curious about your statement regarding stewards from other buildings/locals calling you to 'remove the grievance in good faith'...Why are they doing this?..How do they know about it?..Who gave them your number?..etc.
Also why would you infer from this that you 'must have a really strong case' if they're calling you?
Why are you out on leave? Does it have anything to do with why you're all of the sudden filing this grievance?
Thanks in advance for any responses to my questions, and good luck getting your back pay. I hope you win and I hope you're able to get it from day one that the underpayment occurred.
sure i can answer. well i filed with the shop steward in load that works inside. the manager called the driver shop steward and told him about it. he called me and said i should just drop it. the driver steward had my number because of paychecks when i first took the job. didn't get paid for 3 weeks.
because for the manager to call the driver steward about it to get it stopped instead of calling the steward that filed it to be stopped to me means i have a good case because i started looking it up after the call and its cut and dry in the handbook.
nothing to do with it. my daughter was born overseas so i went in FMLA if it wasn't the case i would be working right now.
but the business agent and management has my cell phone number and no call or update. before i left they said that they had to have a meeting with me, business agent, and management. no call yet about the meeting.
