[QUOTE="anonymous4, post: 967332, member: 30532"] Like I said our long time steward quit. When he was around I couldn't even get straight information on where I could get a contract booklet. This is the guy who told me I couldn't get one until I had my dues paid in full 6 months into my UPS career. 5+ years later he is retired but now has no real replacement, there are several "interm" stewards yet no sign of a true steward to fill the void. Our BA was contacted by other members who are also fed up with what goes on during our shift, this was a week ago. The targets have been assigned on those who made contact with him. The same problem supervisors are still working in the same areas while the grievances seem to be going no where as of last check. These "problem employees" have been relocated to other areas of the building so they have no business where the supervisors are working all shift. My conclusion right now? Move to a shift with more like minded people. I know for a fact the day shift does not have this problem. Why? Strength in numbers. It is easy for you to harp on me and tell me to man up. But it is not feasible to stick your neck our when you're one or two amongst two hundred who look the other way. If you step up in this environment you're like a sheep straying from the flock. An easy meal for the wolves. I have zero doubt there are strong union men and women here who could answer my questions so I can defend myself properly if I want to make change in my hub. I follow the methods and work my ass off - I just don't know the little things that would make me a worthy competitor. I haven't received one PM reaching out to me to discuss tactics that some of you surely have knowledge on. I want to be slick and know for certain when I take action I am doing things the right way. It's the only way to approach this without any stewards who are informed at my shop currently. [/QUOTE]
