[QUOTE="konsole, post: 760641, member: 23965"] For the steward that resented Sleeve's statement; just because you don't use the grievances for bargaining doesnt mean it doesnt happen, and yes I know they do this in my building also. If you receive permission from the grievant to use their grievance for bargaining purposes then I don't see a problem with that because it was that persons option to write the grievance in the first place. However, I would be very upset if my grievance was used as a bargaining chip without my knowledge. I write my grievance to fix an issue that I see and for it to be bargained away means that the issue does not get fixed, not cool in my view. I know that grievances are bargained to rehire employees or erase their punishment atleast in my building, and if an employee did something so bad that they deserve what they got then they dont deserve to be rehired or have the punishment erased. Also if the employee did something that wasnt that bad then bargaining chips shouldnt be required because a simple talk between a steward and reasonable management should be able to help out the employee. To the OP... You're not entitled to a break in between the switching of trailers. It may be a few moments of what seems like downtime and your supervisor would have to be a real dick to not give your a few moments to catch your breathe, but it still isnt an agreed upon break time. Do what your supervisor tells you to but don't be afraid to put in your grievances when the supervisor decides to step in and do the work that you happen to not be doing. Even if your choose not to do the work the supervisor is still required to find another union worker to do it. The company has calculated the shift start time and package flow with the idea that there are these extra "mystery" workers called PT Sups. If the PT Sups are forced to stop working, either the lazy workers will have to step it up or the shift will have to be started earlier and the package flow will have to be reduced. Either end result will be a good thing. [/QUOTE]
