[QUOTE="PiedmontSteward, post: 1807520, member: 42270"] The only way to stop it is for multiple people to file and file often. If one or two members file, they'll simply get shuffled or moved around to where they can't see. I should know, as this has happened to me about a half dozen times so far in my career. They only really get scared when they know the grievances can come from any direction. I would also suggest pushing the BA to appoint at least one or two alternate stewards while the other stewards are out on disability. It's always good to have folks "in the wings" in case the primary stewards change operations/shifts, retire, or just go on vacation. For the record, if the members know how to write a "good grievance" and are good about getting it to the steward in a timely fashion, there's no real "additional" work on the steward. Once I hunt the manager down to sign them off, there's not much difference in one grievance or fifty. If the managers are willing to settle them on the sort level with the steward, it's just another 15 or 20 minutes I get to sit in the office while we try to settle or deadlock on it. [/QUOTE]
