[QUOTE="AlphaMikeBravo, post: 2012346, member: 60001"] 1) Build solid working relationships with the people you will be supervising. Don't treat them like a number. 2) Get an official seniority list for your area, and start to slowly gain the respect of the elders. (It will make it easier on deciding who gets first choice on leaving, staying, etc.) 3)Don't ever, ever, ever, lie to your employee just to tell him/her what he wants to hear. Union people communicate better than supes and once one person loses your trust, most likely everyone will know your not a "stand up" guy (or girl) and we will make your life miserable. 4) Don't avoid workplace conflict, instead take it head on and have a sit down with all employees involved so that you can resolve it right away, and move on. If you avoid the conflict, things tend to "brew" and it causes animosity between employees. If you take care of it right away, you can move on and create an environment where employees actually cooperate towards a common goal. 5) Don't threaten us with PPH, you know and we know that the term is bull5h1t. Just teach your employees to work safe, and efficient, and build from there. 6) Building relationships is important when it comes to supervising Union folk because more often than not, once an employee has seniority, you have to play the cards your dealt. That's all I can think of for now....oh yeah and don't get tempted by the dark side of the force...Good Luck [/QUOTE]
