[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1200971, member: 42270"] I would, too, if the most experienced guy on the [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG]ing slate had a few years as a steward before getting the boot. Hell, their slate's e-board only has one person who has ever won a steward election. I'm a firm believer in rank-and-file power.. but that rank-and-file power has to at least have some experience somewhere, somehow. The company can afford to take every case to arbitration but Local 251 (according to the LM-2's) cannot. Same deal with 623 in Philly but at least they have one or two guys running that have 10+ years in as stewards. Although a lot of the upstart local campaigns are centered around opposition to the contract, I'm noticing a common campaign theme of increased contract enforcement by requiring the BA's to routinely visit/police the UPS barns in their jurisdiction. If you're relying on the BA to police the contract (ie. personally stopping supervisors from working rather than rank-and-file members enforcing the language) around the clock, you've got bigger problems than Art. 3, Sec 7 violations.
