[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 4889413, member: 42554"] You have the right of the Union Steward of your choice as long as they are available. This means if all three of those Stewards are on property you can pick, but you can't delay until the Driver Steward you like gets in, for example, unless the Company is in agreement. If there is no Steward available the meeting cannot continue until one is, and another Bargaining Unit employee cannot be substituted for a Steward recognized by the Local. When you see "Steward or designated alternate" in Article 4, "designated alternate" is just a Steward who pays dues same as a member, in Locals that provide that benefit such as ours. A Steward has the duty of fair representation, which means they have to represent you (not witness) in disciplinary meetings and process your grievances regardless of your sex, color, creed, orientation, any personal bias, and regardless of whether you are a member or not. Sadly, the NLRB considers the Steward being present "fair representation". As a 23 yr Steward I couldn't imagine doing anything less than my best for any member. If I represent them fairly and vigorously I can always address exactly how they are friend-ing up later and my words will carry more weight. If you are having this problem with a Local 104 Steward not wanting to represent you I would encourage you to contact his or her Business Agent or the Hall directly to sort it out. Stewards have lives and responsibilities just like anyone else but when they choose to step up and become a Steward it's not just when it's convenient. [/QUOTE]
