[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 923162, member: 37112"] Here's a little story about those selfish stewards... So a moronic manager gets a brainstorm to force bid feeder drivers to punch out early one day mid week, giving their assigned(bid) work to junior drivers so the senior guys will have hours left to work on Saturday. I call every sane manager above him I can find explaining the error hoping to stop this complete waste of UPS's money. (Not my position I know but I don't like stupidity from anyone) Anyway no one listens, about ten guys (including me) lose anywhere from 2-4 hours OT. I file the grievance, we win (of course) and as the labor guy is asking me for the settlement amounts for each driver he gets to me and I say "I withdraw my grievance" He tells me I'm also entitled, I agree but politely decline. I lost a few dollars on that deal but GAINED more respect and credibility as a steward for my guys than the $ were worth. And most of the stewards are out for themselves...right. Hatebrown, go sharpen a pencil, write a letter to your mother and tell her you're sorry. [/QUOTE]
