[QUOTE="Solidarity413, post: 529789, member: 21984"] I think you'd make a good steward, but what I really want to address is this issue of 'grandstanding'. If by grandstanding you mean standing on a soap box and yelling silly things then yes I feel that is useless. But around here grandstanding to our center manager and those likes means shutting the sort aisle down and not starting it until it's cleaned, when a sup is working you actually stop them, when you see a new hire being told about production rates for preloading or loading you have your own PCM before break is over and remind everyone it's a fair days work for fair days pay. Around here they consider the above grandstanding. Why? Because anything that has to do with being a good Teamster and a good union member is grandstanding to them, they want you to come in their office and have a little one on one chat with them to 'figure it out'. But what that really means is don't educate your members on their rights and please don't follow the contract. [/QUOTE]
