[QUOTE="Griff, post: 320944, member: 7111"] Throwing it all back on the hourly again, what a surprise. Never has anything to do with the training management receives before heading into their job, couldn't be that, the blame must go somewhere else. It has nothing at all to do with the cavalier attitude management has in regards to the contract (which I suspect is part of their training). The blame in this situation goes on both sides, the steward could get a lot more accomplished with a different approach. Seems to me that a responsible, ethical company of integrity that has a unionized workforce would train their supervisors on how to behave in such an environment. Doesn't seem unreasonable and impossible to me, it would seem like the right thing to do for all parties involved. This is apparently too much to ask though, as the majority of managers are willfully ignorant about the contract and the union in general. Just so I'm clear here, putting your black golf shirt on someone effectively makes them a representative of UPS management. I don't care if they are part-time, full-time, half-time or no-time -- they are management. It doesn't fall on the union or the union employee to educate your employees about the contract or federal and state regulations in regards to labor. Educate your workforce before you throw your black shirt on them or do you want to keep ignorance as your excuse? Oh, he's new, that's why...sounds like business as usual to me. [/QUOTE]
