[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1083850, member: 42554"] Bravo for standing up & speaking out even if your center manager doesn't appreciate it. Your center manager called you into the office because he wanted to put on a show & intimidate others into keeping quiet. You should spread the word that you didn't back down and you suffered no discipline. No the center manager cannot direct you to not speak to the Steward. If he wants to play that game, either you or the Steward can call a "caucus" which he must allow. Either you both go outside for a few minutes or he can leave the room. You can have one prior to the meeting if you like also. The Steward is not required to do some or all of the talking in the meeting (meeting with center manager), and if an employee is doing fine I'll just enjoy the show and let him go for it. Nothing better than an informed member giving Management a schooling. In this instance if I had been your Steward I would have just said "well, he's right so what do you have to say about that?" If they want to just harangue you & not have a discussion I would turn my back to the center manager and he can yell at the back of my head. You should look into becoming a Steward yourself, you would really enjoy some of the protections you have & you obviously are already not afraid of them. [/QUOTE]
