[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1158308, member: 14668"] I am [I]not[/I] calling someone an :censored: because they "want to follow the contract". I'm calling someone an [I]:censored: [/I]because they would make a disabled veteran stand there in the rain...or limp back to his car and wait....for the 12 minutes left on their break instead of just doing the right thing and giving that customer their package. I'm calling someone an [I]:censored: [/I]because they are so hell-bent on a rigid, narrow and flawed interpretation of the contract language that they are incapable of [I]applying[/I] that language with any human compassion or common sense. I'm calling someone an [I]:censored:[/I] because they are incapable of differentiating between standing up to an abusive management person and taking care of an ordinary customer who just needs a package of medication and has the bad luck of encountering the driver during their break. You know what? As a steward, I would [I]vigorously defend[/I] that employees right to an uninterrupted lunch if management attempted to discipline them in any way for refusing to deliver the package on their lunch or break. I would quote the relevant contract language. I would help that employee file a grievance if one was necessary. I would do everything within my power to ensure that the employees rights under the contract were protected. After that...having fullfilled my obligation as a steward....once we were off of the clock and out of the building, I would take my shop steward hat [I]off[/I] and put my human being hat [I]on[/I] and politely inform the employee that, in my[U] [I]personal[/I][/U] opinion, he was being an [I]:censored:[/I].
