[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5248197, member: 76643"] That's a winner, Zube! The biggest "enemy" we face is complacency in our own ranks. That's why the company nearly always has the upper-hand. Our working conditions should not be decided by any judge -- real or fake (ha!). No, we should have a seat at that table, and if an agreement can't be hashed out, we can walk. For example. I recently lost an Art 37 grieve at panel. The grieve was against our arrogant labor manager, who, given the weakness of my local, thinks he is licensed to act like a petty tyrant toward us lowly hourlies (stewards too, on occasion, I've heard from a reliable source). Nope, not on my watch. I'm a Teamster. I made the trip and defended the case myself. I couldn't care less that the panel sided with the company. The panel was wrong, and that's that. Even if I had won the decision, that's only a formality. The point I am driving home is I will not be treated like a red-headed stepchild -- not on the shopfloor, not at local hearings. Center mgmt seems to have gotten the message. Perhaps even the DM, who I also named in a different Art 37 grieve that's yet to be decided. We've crossed paths several times and he hasn't said a word to me since the incident I grieved. Splendid! I am sure the labor manager will be a tougher case and we will likely butt heads again at locals. If so, very well. I will continue standing up for myself when necessary and won't think twice about filing on him again if he crosses the line. [/QUOTE]
