So I'm on vacation starting tomorrow so I should have got my vacation check on 5-27. No check so I told the acting preload supervisor it was no problem just have it next Friday (6-3). He told me he put the inquiry in and it would be there. Sure enough, on Friday it was not here.
I saw the drivers steward on the belt and he said he would go talk to the center manager about it. Ten minutes later he comes down and says they want to see me after my shift that I had 4 misloads on Wednesday that week. Well with the sheer volume of packages my unit gets I had three people helping me load my unit that day. They never said a word to me Thursday but come Friday when I'm asking for my already late a week vacation check all of a sudden it's time to go to the office!! This is a few months after I was given a breakfast sandwich for only having 1 in 1,800+ misloads!!
My steward then comes to me as my shift was ending and says that they don't want to see me now, that they "dropped the ball" on my vacation check, and that they will have them next day my check to my building on Saturday. So in other words I am supposed to blow another $10 of gas money and an hour of my time to get my check at my building?? I don't think so.
I never did call Saturday to see if it was there because I was working my 2nd job. I'd love to file a grievance but it's not worth the target on my back....especially with 0 support from this so-called union around here. They already have me in sights for questioning supervisors working. In my last local in Ohio I'd have filed and they'd have sent my check to my house end of story. (Had it happen once)
I don't know how I can put up with this BS another 11 years!!
