[QUOTE="ski or die, post: 4631151, member: 52818"] Interesting. Once, I filed a grievance over a seniority issue. My BA filed the grievance and I went to the hearing. They had me sit in a hotel room with several other employees waiting for each to be called. All were heard but mine. Then the committee went to lunch while I waited. When they returned, the grievance was heard and turned down while my BA sit on his hands and did not say a word. It was obvious the decision was made before I even went into the room. I then had a meeting with our Local President. After explaining the entire grievance and what had happened at meeting, he was prepared to file charges against our BA. I told him I did not want to see any fellow Teamster lose their job, so he called the BA into the meeting. After the President spoke with him with me present, the BA had a meeting with Labor which I did not attend or invited to. The grievance was then reversed as the issue was violated. The grievance involved overtime offered to lower seniority employees instead of senior employees first. Also, every grievance from then on I was present for, mine was heard first so I could return to work. At that time, stewards were not reimbursed for time spent at hearings. [/QUOTE]
