[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 3926674, member: 14176"] I understand what you are saying, but am not ready to throw the baby out with the bathwater yet. My preference is to believe that in capable hands locally, supported by a Panel who stands with the members, the grievance procedure has the teeth to settle most issues. While my Local also stockpiles grievances for years, especially those with the most liability to the Company, it doesn't have to be this way and must change. I will say this, I agree with [USER=4992]@BigUnionGuy[/USER] in the thought that it is not wise to skip any remedy to any issue, in the event that it is ultimately litigated down the road. I recently had opportunity to follow the the blueprint of exhausting all means, and even though my grievance is still yet to heard, OSHA has investigated and ruled against the Company on my complaint....and they never differed. It didn't happen overnight, and required some help from a friend, but ultimately got it's due diligence through perseverance and fortitude. Now the Labor Board....that's a different story, as they always differ to the grievance procedure for at least 12 months in my experience. But again, I would rather work toward fixing what is in a state of disrepair, rather than throwing it in the scrap heap and reinventing the wheel. [/QUOTE]
