The Nim
Ok, here's the situation, I've been filing grievances for the past month for supervisors working. My reasoning, volumes down, they're cutting hours no reason for management to be doing any hourly work, simple and everyone who's heard it agrees.
No here's where the problem starts. One of the people I've grieved was a FT sup who was loading. Cut and dry no argument and I got paid, or at least that's what it should have been. Instead the FT sup has more or less freaked out and taken it personally, and given he can't go after me, I'm an incompatibles sorter who actually works and such, he's decided to go after my gf who's the one who handles recycles for the pds in his area. She's told me he said that he does it because it makes him feel better. I didn't hear it, and no one that was around when she says it was said will do anything.
As a general rule of thumb, I won't act on here-say, if I don't see it myself I can't act in good faith. So for awhile all I could do was bring her in with a steward to our sort managers office and explain the situation to him so he's aware of it. After a small discussion everything was ok for 2 weeks.
That brings us to last night, I catch said FT sup loading, so I ask him about it, he immediately gets defensive and then stops working. As I'm leaving the feeder he shouts to a nearby pt sup asking where my gf is and says she better be working. Then harasses her for a minute and then ships her into the truck he was just loading for the next hour, all the while other hourlies are nearby who are actually trained to load, she is not started in the unload then went to do recycles, are doing not much of anything or getting ready to leave.
Shortly thereafter I finish my work and get a steward and we go to speak with the sort manager about it. At this point he's supposed to talk with the FT sup sometime today, either after the sort or before Friday sort starts. Until now the FT never did anything when I was around, and my gf is rather skittish and unmotivated when things go wrong, so I couldn't do anything.
Anyways, I'm sure I'm rambling, but at this point my plan is to not do anything today unless something really egregious happens and wait until after the weekend to see how things are. I suppose though, I'm coming here to ask for some advice on what I can do. So any suggestions or comments otherwise?
P.S. I apologize if this is a bit incoherent, mixing nyquil and any alcohol really does increase drowsiness. Yeah I know, bad idea but I was drinking before I thought to take the nyquil since I've been sick.
