[QUOTE="Mugarolla, post: 1541469, member: 8481"] You know better Bug. When a grievance is filed, it becomes the property of the local to hear it on your behalf. In a grievance hearing, you cannot override your BA. He can override you. You cannot settle or withdraw the grievance. The BA has to do this. Hopefully, you have a BA that will listen to you and your steward, and take your opinions into consideration. The company deals with the BA during grievance hearings, they do not deal with the grievant except to ask questions to get the facts. The grievant is represented by the local with full authority to settle the grievance on the grievants behalf. I did not say to toss a grievance. They have to do their best to settle the grievance or else possibly face labor charges, but they do not need the grievants opinion or approval. For example. You are terminated. Your BA negotiates it to a 3 day suspension. He does not have to ask you if that is OK. You do not have to sign off on it. He makes the deal and you live with it. In this case the BA worked on your behalf. If he is making deals that go against the contract, then yes, he could face labor charges. This usually keeps BA's honest and looking out for your best interest. But, as you know, once you file a grievance it becomes the property of your local to settle. Hopefully with the grievants best interest in mind. [/QUOTE]
