[QUOTE="hubrat, post: 794387, member: 869"] Thank y'all for the gentle clarification. I'm still not coming back from mamby pamby land. The examples Tie provided are extremes. At the other end I have seen a driver beg for medical care for 1-1/2 weeks when no one was questioning his right to it. A call to the business manager resulted in a call to the industrial commission and , voila, there was a doc appt the next day. Which leads us back on task: a couple people weren't doing their jobs as instructed because they are having to manage way too many people. They're overworked and someone at the low end of the food chain suffered. The only money lost was by the company b/c of the injury. No grievance was filed. No lawsuit will be b/c this dude really likes his job. MOST of what I see grieved is somewhere between these two extremes. I have not had to struggle to keep my job. The takers that y'all are talking about are probably the scumbags that bury packages, Etc and make my job harder. Some honest folks do fall through the cracks and get more than their money's worth from the union. I am personally grateful for this. There are also a few Sups and managers at both extremes. The scumbags generally get weeded out pretty early. I am concerned about the ones in the middle and at the other extreme, wrongfully dismissed and abused b/c they have no representaion. The restructuring needs retooling b/c the old style punitive management doesn't work well with it. People are being pushed to do impossible jobs and we all suffer. I knew this was a possiblity. I'm glad I know now. The company has its own brand of myths about union employees. [/QUOTE]
