[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4445201, member: 63706"] I also think the contract is so long, convoluted, and has enough contradictions that even a BA who's been around a while still depends on other union officials to tell them what's up, which can lead to delayed responses for grievances. It pays to inform yourself, if only so you know what questions to ask, or so you can help your BA navigate the contract. I get frustrated sometimes with my local and BA, but I also understand that he's got other contracts, employers, negotiations and grievances to deal with. That is why stewards are such an important first line of defense. Most often I can get issues resolved without involving the BA or even filing grievances. Management relies completely on their labor guy to tell them what to do. I had one sup tell me "I don't know what's in your contract." The sad thing is we were talking about company policy. :lol:. But it's true, they don't. And they seem to be unaware that it's their contract too. [/QUOTE]
