[QUOTE="Superteeth2478, post: 3996998, member: 73024"] I'm glad to hear that. The thing is that although I can understand why sometimes being a steward is sometimes a thankless job, it's funny that two of the sellout stewards in my hub told how thankless it is and how they didn't feel appreciated. It's not surprising because they are seen as sellouts by their brothers and sisters so of course they don't appreciate you. My experience as a steward has been anything but feeling unappreciated. I honestly feel like a celebrity of sorts in my hub. Although I'm a preload steward, drivers are actually referred to me as a guy who knows his stuff and will back up my brothers and sisters all the way if they're right. It's like almost everyone knows me there. I get random comments about how people appreciate what I do as a steward. I was actually moved away from my main hub by some vindictive management and the BA did nothing to keep me in the main building even though there was no legitimate reason to move me, and after I came back after 2 or 3 months people LITERALLY cheered when they saw me. There was a large group of people congregated outside for break that all broke into cheers when they saw me on my first day back. One of the most important things in my opinion that helps people's opinion of me is that I actually work side by side with my brothers and sisters doing the grunt work. So many stewards sellout and do busy work in exchange for not standing up for their brothers and sisters and not enforcing the contract. I'd rather break my back doing grunt work than ever do that. People see that and respect that. Have you ever tried getting elected? That sounds like something that needs to happen. Passion is an important trait in a steward for sure. [/QUOTE]
