[QUOTE="trickpony1, post: 146021, member: 1957"] FIRST, I would request a meeting with the center manager and the BA/steward to clear up any misunderstandings. I would not go in there looking for someone's head, so to speak. I would be cordial and agreeable.....not hateful. This puts the ball in their (company) court. It's their move now. Then, I would file a grievance under whatever article you quoted, apparently from the contract book, regarding seasonal "....falls under Terms and Conditions....." I would file quickly. There is, I believe, a 10 day period. Filing should entitle you to a local (on property) hearing where the differences can be heard and sorted out. I would think your accusor would/should also be at that meeting. If the union says you have no recourse, I would show the BA the language in the book. I don't think it matters who accuses you of what.....the company has to make it stick. If you are refused the meeting with the center manager and the union continues to not represent you, I would file misrepresentation on the union and unfair labor practices against the company(termination without cause and unilateral change in contract language) with the NLRB. I think the company likes a person with a little fight, a little initiative, a little "intestinal fortitude". If you simply tuck your tail and turn and walk into the shadows after this ordeal, the company can say,"see,........he didn't care enough to fight for his job.". One more bit of advice and I hope you are listening.......... You need to COMPLETELY exhaust the grievance procedure before you get an attorney. If the company finds out you have an attorney, everything stops........and I do mean everything. Good Luck and Godspeed. I'm not an overly spiritual person but I believe there is scripture, to the effect, "....the Lord helps him who helps himself...." (paraphrased). I am not a BA, steward or an attorney. My opinions are just that, opinions..........based on 28 years of observations. Keep us posted. PS-I would be interested in knowing what article you quoted in your previous post so I can research it. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
