[QUOTE="Cowboy Mac, post: 5518360, member: 59074"] You’re never going to be able to change these runners. The best you can do is to have a talk with them one on one and give them some reasons not to work off the clock. This is how much money you’re losing, what happens if you get injured off the clock, etc. The union is never going to get behind you on this issue because the purpose of a union is to protect its members and protect their jobs. They usually steer clear of doing anything that puts members at risk of discipline. We don’t file grievances against members, we file them against management. You can file a grievance asking for the member to be paid for the time they worked off the clock but in my experience, runners don’t want to be paid for that time and they actually turn down the money. They continue to work off the clock and management continues to let it happen. All it does is piss off the runners and make them hate the union. In other words it creates division in the union over a minor issue, which is the last thing we need in a contract year. [/QUOTE]
