[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 1007488, member: 18708"] [b]Re: The Bigger Impact of the "Me First" Attitude on Everyone From Cell Phones to Lunc[/b] I and others made this point time and time again, glad it's finally making traction. If you make agreements outside of the contract, you are inevitably affecting co-workers. My best example personally, in recent memory, is a shop steward who makes deals with management and takes his lunch well outside of the contract window, to make his job easier and satisfy management. Pretty soon, all of the other FT people with his job description in other centers were INSTRUCTED to violate the contract as well. Then I came along, and I said "no thanks, I'll take my lunch within the contract" - and I was of course, harassed and basically "tried to make quit" because I didn't fall in line with the other sheepling. The worst part is I notified our BA about the stewards extra-contract agreements , and he said more or less, none of your business. This is why the union is equally to blame as management for workplace issues. "MYOB" doesn't work, since others shortcuts and side-deals can quickly become other peoples problems. [/QUOTE]
