[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 284601, member: 6408"] First off, Super, grievances take time...ALOT OF TIME! That's one of the issues that's addressed in the new contract. There will be a local hearing, there HAS to be a local hearing, that is, in your building with your immediate supes and manager or labor manager and union reps, probably your steward and BA. If deadlocked, which happens to almost every grievance here, it will go to state panel, probably at the union hall. Attended by an imparital (yeah, right!) panel made up of different UPS and union personel. If deadlocked again, it goes to JAC (Joint Area Council), most likely in a far away city. To keep you from attending? Most likely so but they hear a lot of cases from around region so it appears that it's a central location. Second...I feel you have a valid grievance BUT! As has been stated in previous posts here and other threads, do you have proof? Is anything in writing? Do you have witnesses? Could this be a case of "He said, I said and she said"? I realized that you went through you superiors and tried to work with them and they said they would. But have you ever had a pet, dog, cat, alligator, lion, mongoose, that was as docile as a newborn kitten but after time and when cornered, would turn into Godzilla who never knew you? Here, we DO have a form to fill out requesting an option day. Now, granted, there have been times when volume was down and an emergency came up and we just called and was granted our option without filling out the form. It appears you do have a good case but it's gonna take time. Some of my $ issues have taken 6 mos to a yr to get settled. Also, you may have a good case but it's gonna be hard to prove with no written proof and only their and your word. Good luck. Keep up informed, please [/QUOTE]
