[QUOTE="Observer, post: 4675387, member: 50589"] Learn everything about your local - find out when the meetings are, location of building,etc. Go to the meetings as you will find out what the problems are at your hub. Get your contract book - read through it - some union locals work hard for their members - others you are pretty much on your own. You will learn who has credibility there. Always check your paychecks by keeping track of your time. If you get hurt - report it and get medical help - as some hubs will make you wait as "just walk it off tonight" - important - Trust no one - Supervisor will probably only know the name of the BA and not much else. Look for a board that shows Union Hall Meeting dates. Supes working has ben a problem for years as also pay issues. Article 37 - Weingarten Rights learn them as they will come up a lot. Enjoy your career -there are days you are really going to hate it. However the benefits are worth in the long run. Remeber if you have barking supervisors - they are being barked from above and/or have a terrible homelife. Had a boss who barked way too much - turns out his wife ruled the roost - because father-in-law had helped them out and was not letting go of that. Just the best for Daddy's little girl. So as a consequence he came in every day with a huge chip on his shoulder. [/QUOTE]
