[QUOTE="brownelf, post: 2334363, member: 27863"] Been a steward for decades and I've always tried to mediate issues prior to putting anything on paper. Ive always let the current management team dictate how they want to approach problems either by throwing paper at each other or sitting down and actually addressing an issue between the people involved. Doing the latter usually works better and doesn't end up with the I won you lost feelings that can fester long after grievance is heard at a panel by both sides. This has become more difficult to do in recent years due to the lack of control that the center management team has over anything other than trying to manipulate the reports currently generated they are told are important that day. I have many times thru the years told someone I've represented not to bother filing when asked my opinion on whether to file or not. But I have never refused or told someone not to file when they want to file in spite of the fact that I know the grievance would more than likely be lost. In all the years doing this the one thing I've learned is the you can usually get better results by sitting down and talking like adults at the center level than going to panel and having outside parties settle it for you.
