My useless stewards didn’t even make a college try to inform people what was going on. No call, no text, no telegram. 112-4 in favor he tells me a week later. Theres over 200 employees… that johnny pencil pusher showed up for several hours in the evening allegedly. Didn’t even bring hot dogs

I'm not sure you understand the role and duties of a steward?
....or the lack of compensation and gratitude that comes with the job.

It’s a thankless job…some of the stories I’ve heard about members copping an attitude to a steward trying to represent them are seriously fkd up…you want to be an ass, go represent yourself mthrfkr

Our steward is useless and lets management get away with anything so long as he gets to leave earlier than everyone else.
Golfs with them all the time and is their "friend."

Is he appointed or is he elected? If elected, get a group large enough to sign a petition to get another vote for steward, if what you say is true, it should not be difficult. If he’s appointed, I would be calling your executive board daily.

The grievance I last filed was heard 11 months later (and the excuse was they scheduled the hearing during your vacation time but didn't notice at first).
and settled for .50 on the dollar as my cost to take it to panel for full amount would have been multiple 2 hour drives/hotel room....and they turned around and did it for the 11 months in between (filing and settlement) and started doing it again less than 1 month afterwards.
It's a rigged game. When more people care about getting done early than holding mgmt accountable there is no point. Everyone knows they can target you. When they don't care how much they pay you, but want you to be the last one out the door--they will find a way.

....and I think you have the role of a steward confused with that of a Business Agent.

Some people would rather complain, and then when you give them an honest, good answer and solution. ignore you.
Tell you it’s rigged and it’s impossible to change. SMH

I think it's more likely that they don't know the answer to the question, making their additional unsolicited assessment even more useless than it already is.Some people would rather complain, and then when you give them an honest, good answer and solution. ignore you.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
There are Stewards that can give the union a bad name. My first one was a 30 year driver, he was a prick with management, and always took time to listen to a beef. Had another that wasn’t competent, never should have been a steward. But if I had a problem I found other avenues, he wasn’t the end of the line. You can’t just give up because the steward isn’t great. I paid dues and was entitled to representation. I made sure I got my money’s worth when necessary.Some people would rather complain, and then when you give them an honest, good answer and solution. ignore you.

You beat me to it. He apparently doesn't know what the roll of a Steward is.
He's not a hamburger bun
He knows his role
He knows his role

I mean really, of all the people on this "sight"?
I trust what both of you have to say
Knowing a little bit about each of you I respect both of your opinions

I was referring to you correcting my misuse of a word (grammar), "roll vs role" in this case.
In other words, you're the king of that and other similar type errors.
I have no problem making fun of myself that's what life is about having a good time.
You just threw me easy softball and I could not resist myself
