[QUOTE="IzzyTheNose, post: 1325531, member: 15470"] So I've decided I'm going to take the necessary steps towards being a shop steward. My decision didn't come without careful consideration, and while I'm certain I'll have a tough road ahead of me (there's a lot of problems with my local), I believe myself to be both cutout and determined to fulfill my duties as a steward. My question, actually, I have a few, are these: I was told recently that the top pay for new drivers was actually reduced to $25. Now I told the person who gave me this information (he apparently heard it from another driver) to take it with a grain of salt. I hadn't heard anything regarding the reduced pay for new drivers reaching top pay, and that it could be simply spreading misinformation in an effort to rally the members of my local in ousting the current slate. Secondly, and this is an even bigger problem, depending on who you are and how you look at it; certain stewards are enforcing part-timers bumping full-timers from the area when the area is overstaffed. Not only that, but combos who are supposed to be picking off, are told the part-timers have more seniority, and have routinely bumped them. The interesting thing is, it's only affecting certain areas where stewards who are "in good" with the current slate. I've been told that both issues are actually apart of the contract (I'm assuming this would be in our local rider, and not master agreement?). Is there any way I can investigate this online, or would I have to go to my local to acquire the information I'm looking for? Lastly, is there anything I can do about any of this? [/QUOTE]
