[QUOTE="705red, post: 403347, member: 5229"] As a steward you have to take the people out of the mix. Its my job to look at the contract language and explain the grievants/union side of it to management. The biggest complaint i hear is how can ups do this the contract says this. Ups agrees to a contract in principle but will violate it at will hoping that no one will make a beef about it. This is were the steward steps in and attempts to fix the problem. If not than a grievance will be filed. Being a steward is a thank less job, some people love you when they are in trouble, some people say that you cause the trouble, and if your a good steward the company dislikes you, so its a no win situation. We will be cleaning house in the next couple of weeks in my building, we have close to 25 stewards with only a handful worth anything and alot of new blood that plans on steeping up. The members decide in an election who will be there steward, and god sometimes do i pray that i would lose. [/QUOTE]
