[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 245597, member: 9789"] Raceanoncar, I would suggest you get with your BA and set up a weekly stewards meeting with your Division Mgr....If for some reason the DM balks get with the District Mgr to make it happen or call the hotline and go to corporate. Our district had a really bad repoir with the union a few years ago. It was so bad that the panels were about 3 months behind in clearing grievences. They were only taking discharge cases! Something had to give.....Both sides came together to come up with this meeting & comunication/concerns system and WOW did things change! It forced the managers to listen to the problems (not that it should be that way). Unfortunately there are folks on both sides that think this is some sort of war and they try to win one battle at a time. I can tell you from personal experience - if you were constantly knocking on my door with concerns - I would be in someone's face telling them to fix it! A system like this ultimately takes care of the people. It is like grevience machinery without all the paperwork and you can take care of quite a few problems quickly. The other thing it does is force communication between both sides and over a period of time each side gets to understand the other a little better and things should improve over time. I know that this may sound like BS but I personally have seen improvements in operations that I thought were lost causes. [/QUOTE]
