[QUOTE="Fredless, post: 295524, member: 5197"] I hate to hear crap like that. If you start a war and keep beating that drum, others that are sick of it will wake up to. It won't be many, but I used to have a similar situation on my shift. I just kept beating that drum and the employees saw the results of the grievance procedure and its meant more employees enforcing the contract now. If you can get at least 2 or 3 others in the boat with you that will keep beating the drum to the same tune that you guys are not going to allow this crap to happen, you'll eventually win. It'll be a long year or more, but the company will back down. They won't give a crap about a grievance without money involved. This is what I do, I witness supervisors working, bring it to other part time hourlies attention so I can get statements from them, and turn them all into one of the driver stewards who they like to screw with and bring in early. At the end of the week, they are hit with about 20-30 hours (remember, over 2 hours means 4 hours at DOUBLE time) every week and it has paid off. The sup's in the small sort gave a PCM stating they were not going to break jambs, move totes around or touch packages for that matter besides do audits. It took about 5 weeks of those grievances for them to stop, but now we have an hourly break jambs, move totes around with boxes in them and progress packages down the chutes to the sorters. The sups just walk around with their clip boards and I haven't seen one drop of sweat from them since. Are they going to screw with you? HELL YES. Keep a polite attitude and do that work that you grieved them on. That BURNS their ass when they think they're screwing with you and you don't let it get to you. Send my ass to load irregs ALL night for all I care, it'll take me till 3 am because if you follow their ridiculous methods they'll either need twice the workforce they operate with or the work will take twice as long.
