[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 189031, member: 9491"] I would say if you are a part-time employee and you do not have a Steward in the part-time ranks, get a few people to call the hall and tell them you wnat a steward on your shift. I have been a part-time steward for a pretty good bit and have learned that the job has its good and bad. You will have to represent idiots out there, but I would say over all it is worth it for you to be a steward. I try to set an example in the work area. I am at work everday and on time. I do my job as instructed. My management team knows how much contract knowledge that I have and the tend to respect that knowledge. Sure, sometimes we butt heads. I have had grievances settled between myself and management and have had others go to panel. The reason I decided to do the job is that my steward was a sorry worker. He was never at work when you needed him, so I ran against him and took the job. I make sure I meet every new employee. Give them the speech and let them know that I am there for them. It has been an over all good experience. The only bad experience that I have had is with unethical hourly employee's and upper management that has never known me. I am talking about the higher ups that see you at a panel and automatically think you are anti-company. I have never really had a problem with the management team that I work with everyday. We have had our disagreements, but I always try to leave the meetings saying that we agree to disagree. I do not get mad, I just let them know that we interprete the contract differently and we will have to let a panel decide. Go for it. [/QUOTE]
