[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5353874, member: 76643"] Such as the language in Art. 8 Sect. 2 in the NMA. A retiree visited our weekly meet-up a few weeks back and told us that, in the early 70s when he started, his BA several times reminded mgmt that if they didn't settle the issue right then, the BA had trunk full of picket signs and could have everyone out on the street in a few minutes. The grievance procedure is broken; at most it slaps the company on the wrist with minor financial penalties or compels them to move their consistent Art 37 violators to other centers/buildings, much as the Church relocates its priests. If we want a contract [I]with teeth [/I]then we have to reclaim our trump card: our ability to withhold our labor. Case in point: the cameras. Our brothers in local 988 wrote a serious grievance more than 2 years ago. Meanwhile the company has been allowed to continue installing these automated on-car supes all across the country. If the company alleges that we have seriously violated policy/the contract, you know the drill: they take our badges, walk us to the gate, and we're gone until we win our grievance. So the company is innocent until proven guilty, and it's vice-versa with us. [/QUOTE]
