[QUOTE="BigBrown1234, post: 3475955, member: 68729"] At my location this is usually the process that I’m familiar with. Grievance = decisions/outcome Did you get a panel decision? If the agreement is still not followed, file follow up grievance to get panel decision. Put the sup in front of the panel every month. Burden of proof is on the accuser. Did you prove your case? Did he prove his? Give specific examples of how the “union rep is no good” Your word against someone else’s is usually weak. Do you have corroborating or supporting evidence? (Witness statements) Does the sup? A steward is usually not the union Rep. stewards can only witness in and investigatory situation. If you and management can’t contractually come to an agreement, then usually the BA will try and settle grievances at the local level. If still no agreement it goes to Panel. Once you file a grievance, the union owns it and will enforce it through supporting interpretation. If the company challenges then it goes through the process of panels then arbitration. Have a meeting with your Union Buisness Agent and discuss a plan to fix your issues and ask for all available options. The Union is the body. I do feel and agree with the philosophy that the ignorance of the membership lie on the shoulders of our elected officials. [/QUOTE]
