[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4611396, member: 63706"] I don't know what to tell you bud. I didn't create this system, I'm just trying to navigate it. My building and local tend to be pretty informal. It drives me nuts sometimes because I take the time to read up on things, try to do them the right way, and then find out I've wasted my time. Then I have to hound people to find out the way things are done in practice. The worst is interpretation of the contract. Someone comes to me with an issue, I deal with it based on what the contract seems to me to say, then I get told a panel decision interpreted the language a different way. I ask to see the decision, but have yet to see one. It's a mess, and I barely have the time I need to represent members, let alone try to take on the monumental task of fixing things. Honestly, I am out delivering packages so long every day, I have no idea how stewards in larger, more active buildings have time to grieve anything. I'm more than happy to hear how things run in other centers and locals. Maybe that will help me try to get things back on track. [/QUOTE]
