[QUOTE="Thoroughbred Teamster, post: 4195364, member: 75469"] I offered the P/Ters on the 22.4 list to print out the 22.4 language. One replied, "Can you just make it cliff notes?" Smdh, so I highlighted the stuff I felt they were concerned with most. Now that I think about it, I actually did something like this last year for the part-timers. Put together a small binder full of information I believed every newly attained seniority part-timer would need. Basic contract info, basic union info/concepts, FAQs, important phone numbers, even a couple historic Teamsters strikes. I even presented it to the Local to produce copies, which they were on board with, but it just didn't fly with the part-timers. Had quite a few pages but I did my best to keep it minimal. I started handing them out to all the 20-somethings and one of the replies was "Wtf? We got homework??" I learned later it would be best to work with the stewards on it, who were usually inexperienced but at least willing. That's when I got the concept for the podcast. My first few episodes were pretty much what was in that binder. My intention was to go over contract language each episode but then people who listen started reaching out from other unions and locals, so I began broadening the topic. I touch on the contract occasionally. Discussed Article 37, paragraph 1 and got good feedback on that too. [/QUOTE]
