[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 2789949"] [EDIT: Didn't realize you were talking to PT Car Washer. THAT situation is crazy. I haven't been able to find a local rider or supplement or anything for my area so I think we're basically just covered by the national contract, but [b]that[/b] would piss me off if they were allowed to do that with just a slap on the wrist every time.] Yeah, bro, we haven't had a preload steward since 2013. The union only gets involved when a preloader goes out of his way to find a steward off of his or her shift, or when we're lucky enough to catch a feeder driver that doubles as a steward around 6-7am. There are a few package drivers that are stewards and I've got a, from my perspective, pretty decent working relationship with the ones I know. They're my go-to guys when I've got an issue and I'm also lucky enough to load one of the driver/steward's truck, so I keep him up to date on pretty much everything that goes on as long as he shows up to his truck before I'm clean and clocked out. He's always willing to give me grievance forms but he also does his best to cool me off and rationalize the situation, because normally I'm pretty irritated by the end of the day. I do my best to try and stay active with it but it gets really tiring telling new people the same shlt over and over and over again with the turnover rate my building has. I basically don't consider anybody a co-worker until they've been there for at least a week, because they're usually gone after a day or two. [/QUOTE]
