[QUOTE="hyena, post: 405082, member: 16600"] I understand there are good managers out there and I have no problem working with them or getting along with them. Some people may view me as anti-management and think I have a "us vs them" outlook but I dont. Everyone has to remember I say what I see and what I see at my center is a huge problem. Ive had jobs where Ive gotten along great with my managers at my center they just want to bully people. Most people at my center complain about alot thats going wrong but dont file. Its all violations of the contract but for some reason management has it to where people dont file. Alot of that comes from the steward to because hes the "leader" of the people in a sence so they convince you together not to file. There were a few I had let go because they convinced me not too. Its hard when you think the stewards on your side, then you go into the office and he starts agreeing with everything management is saying when you know your 100% correct. I know this feeling it sucks because I have experienced it firsthand and ive also seen my steward tell other people stuff thats not right so they dont file. I dont believe this is right to me theres alot of responsibility thats comes with being a steward, and sometimes management will be right and in that case so be it. I dont know maybe im rambaling on... but I have former Stewards telling me im doing the right thing! I hope your contract gets worked out for the best. I feel from your responses that you are a good Steward. I think your doing the right thing by having the questions and answers meeting and imforming the people. Thats Great! I wish I could have learned a different way then what I have but I guess you play the hand your dealt. Those guys shouldnt not vote just because management is pushing yes they should learn the facts first and see if it is a good deal. I mean no matter what your not going to get everything you want and theyre not going to get everything they want, you have to compromise and meet in the middle. Good luck with everything Red!
