[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1150480, member: 42270"] What do you mean by "talk shop"? I routinely answer contractual and work rule questions -- on the clock -- all the time. If someone walks by my area on the way to the bathroom and spends 30 seconds asking me a quick question, there's no problem there. Now, if you mean work out a contractual dispute between a bargaining unit member and management before it hits a grievance, then I only do that at management's discretion or off-the-clock. Quite frankly, I'm all for eliminating the NLRB if it allows us to return to the way we organized in the 1930's. The NLRB emerged during one of the most militant eras in American labor. The Labor Board, historically, has really only "slowed down" rank-and-file job actions. Before the NLRB, labor unions would [b]strike[/b] and workers would hit the streets over deadlocked grievances. For example: UPS refuses to fill the 22.3 jobs they owe us and the grievance deadlocks; we wouldn't just wring our hands and ask an arbitrator to spank big bad brown for us. We would shut the entire UPS network down. [/QUOTE]
