[QUOTE="cpio, post: 153365, member: 7535"] My shop stewards do the same thing whenever I have a problem. They stand there appearing interested and blow me off when I tell them I want to file a grievance. If I were you, I'd ask your shop steward for your business agent's phone number, or google to see if your local has a website. Call them, give as much information as possible and the names of everybody involved and say you want to file a grievance. Don't take no for an answer, because it's your right to a file one. From your story, it appears that you're being excessively supervised, which may have an applicable grievance procedure. If you are in the same physical condition as the other unloaders, you should all be held to the same standard. Non-union workers? Do you mean supervisors? If supervisors are working, call your local's office and tell them who was working, what they were doing and for how long. Article 3 Section 7 of the National Master Agreement says that a supervisor's job is to supervise you, not do your job. Management is responsible for ensuring that an adequate number of bargaining unit employees are in the building when operations begin, even if they to call in more help from other shifts, make people from earlier shifts work late or call in people from other centers to do coverage work. If by non-union you mean new hires that have not yet obtained seniority, they are allowed to do bargaining unit work. You deserve respect on the job, so make sure your voice is heard, and encourage your co-workers to speak up. [/QUOTE]
