[QUOTE="grgrcr88, post: 775636, member: 16611"] Hello, I am one of the worthless shop stewards you speak of. Let me clarify a few things for you. 1) Stewards do not get paid in most parts of the country, it's all voluntary extra work they do. Except while on the clock for UPS 2) Stewards have no power to control the workload or the way work is given. 3) You must 100% of the time follow instructions by your management team(Unless illigal, immoral or unsafe) and grieve later if contract language has been broken. 4) The Union and it's Stewards are not your personal savior from work. They are there to represent you in disciplinary proceedings and to make sure they contract as written is enforced and followed(by both parties)! 5) If you want to file a grievance for something that you feel is a contract violation, you have every right to do so. Fill out the grievance form, include the article of the contract that has been violated and give it to your Steward. He may tell you your not going to win, but if you insist, he must present the grievance for you. If you are being treated differently and unfairly their is language to protect that but you better have a history of it on paper and someone to back it up. Harassment is the hardest thing to prove. If you just feel like your being overworked, welcome to UPS!!! [/QUOTE]
