What do you mean by traded away? My preload Sup ask me last week if I'm gonna throw it out and I tell him no cause of the Harrassment I received after I filed.
It is not uncommon for the BA and center manager to negotiate grievances between themselves, agreeing to pay one in exchange for another one being thrown out. I have no idea if this is what happened in your case but it is a possibility.
I agree this may happen, but shouldn't each grievance be decided by the actual contract?
I would be BS if my legitimate grievance was traded away.
I am a full time steward and about a year ago the BA allowed the company to drag out my sup. working grvnce for 3 months but paid others immediately. I told the BA that I was going to file labor charges against the union if he didn't docket my grvnce to the state panel to be heard the next month. He believed what I told him, docketed it and when I walked into the lobby of the hotel where the panels were being held the Labor Manager told the BA he would pay my grvnce in full.... about 3 months ago and still haven't heard one thing or been paid for it. I asks my BA and he just says he hasn't heard anything about it. Any suggestions on why to do next?
Yes, each grievance deserves to be decided based on it's own merits and the applicable contract language, but you know as well as I that they trade grievances all the time.
Uh, pardon me but this is the employees grvnce and the BA has no right to trade anything without consulting the grievant. They only do what you let them do.Yes, each grievance deserves to be decided based on it's own merits and the applicable contract language, but you know as well as I that they trade grievances all the time.
I thought the union was just to get us out of trouble.upstate, have you ever filed a grievance before...if so, do you mind sharing the situation?
