[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 931069, member: 9500"] Past practices seem to vary by region, but in mine we decided you must (of course) sign your DVIR, annual license certification, and any other government required documents that might come up (CCR in Feeders for example). For all others, such as Pittsburgh's, Safety, training and OJS forms initialing would suffice. Initialing just says that you have reviewed the document but are not agreeing with it. This seemed to end the "sign, don't sign" war, as it didn't really matter whether you signed or not because they still brought the document out at JALM anyways. If you got into a sticky situation where some jerk Manager was insisting you sign, we just suggested the driver write "SIGNED UNDER PROTEST UNDER ARTICLE 6 OF THE NATIONAL MASTER AGREEMENT" above their signature in very large letters. The sign/don't sign usually just devolved into a big FU to management so that seemed to serve it's purpose. For Stewards we would always initial the Pittsburgh at the end of the written discipline, drawing a line "\" so nothing more could be added, and of course getting a copy. We used a code that we developed to identify that was our initials on that particular day. They later changed our Pittsburgh forms so it just had an area for initials on the right, so we would put them there too. This prevented Management from manufacturing discipline that had never been issued by claiming we refused to sign. [/QUOTE]
